Consistent Performance with Varied Splits Daniel Burton completed the 2025 Deseret News Marathon 10K in 43:16, averaging a pace of 6:58 min/mile. Notable for his age, as a 15-year-old in the M15-18 division, Daniel displayed consistent performance against 1,159 participants. His pace distribution throughout the race showed incremental variations. The strongest segment was the first mile with a 6:22 pace, ultimately reflecting his best split and position as 67th in division. The pace dipped slightly in the third mile to 7:35, indicating potential for strategic focus on maintaining steady speed in mid-race segments. Reviewing previous performances, Daniel's past 10K time of 37:05, and faster pace of 5:59 min/mile, highlights a benchmark. Increasing stamina and endurance focus during practice might help regain that impressive pace. Engaging in strategic pacing drills could enhance consistency and improve his middle segments, possibly closing the difference to his previous bests in competitive settings. His progression is promising.
