Consistent Early Pacing, Late Slowdown Managed with Mile-26 Rebound Finish 4:25:13 (10:07/mi). 10-mile split 1:30:46 (9:04/mi). Through 16 miles, cumulative pace 9:11/mi. Fastest miles: 5 in 8:38, 10 in 8:49, 3 in 8:52. Early pacing was steady: miles 1–4 ranged 8:52–9:09. Final mile recorded 10:59. From mile 17, splits shifted to 10:57–13:13 through mile 23, then 12:56–12:27 at 24–25 and a rebound to 10:59 for mile 26. Coaching notes: trim early surges to stay closer to target pace, aiming to keep effort consistent through 20–22 miles; add long runs with marathon-pace finishes and steady-state blocks; include practice segments at goal pace under fatigue to sustain late-race rhythm.
