Steady Start with Opportunities for Pacing Adjustments Isaac Rodrigues, a 22-year-old runner from Turlock, CA, completed the 2025 Mountains 2 Beach Marathon in 4:18:03, achieving an average pace of 9:50 min/mile. He maintained a consistent pace in the early stages, with splits of 8:15 min/mile for the first two miles. However, his pace slowed to 10:45 min/mile by mile 17, highlighting a gradual deceleration. Isaac finished 1204th overall out of 2277 participants and was 72nd in his division for males aged 20-24. Notably, he achieved his fastest mid-race split at mile 9 with a time of 9:48. In future races, focusing on sustaining an even pace in the latter stages might be beneficial. This adjustment could contribute to maintaining or even improving positioning relative to other competitors. As a member of The Masters Mighty Milers, Isaac may find merit in targeting specific endurance training sessions to bolster his performance.
