Even Splits After Early Variability, 9:56 Avg Pace Rebecca completed the marathon in 4:20:41 (9:56/mile). First 3 miles averaged 9:41; mile 4 slowed to 13:47, then a sharp 5:49 at mile 5. From miles 6–13, splits ranged 9:04–10:08, including 9:04 at mile 12. Final 13 miles ranged 9:27–11:29, with mile 19 at 9:27 and mile 25 at 9:47. Team: Team Poptart. Coaching notes: Aim to smooth early pacing; hold 9:45–10:00 through mile 6, then progress to 9:35–9:45 through mile 20. Use watch alerts every 0.5 miles to cap surges and limit slowdowns >30 sec from target. With late splits largely under 10:40, a steadier start may yield a faster overall.
