Consistent Pacing Yields Steady Progress Chris Nguyen delivered a consistent performance at the 2025 UTHealth Houston Half Marathon & 10K, completing the 10K race in 1:15:07 with an overall pace of 12:06 min/mile. Chris gradually improved his position through steady pacing, starting strong with a 12:11 min/mile pace and finishing with a slightly faster 11:28 min/mile in the final mile. His position in the Male 25-29 division remained competitive, finishing 82nd. Analyzing the split times reveals a well-maintained effort, resulting in a progressive reduction in time per mile from an initial 13:20 to an impressive 11:28 in the final stretch. This indicates effective energy management and an ability to finish strongly. To further enhance race performance, Chris might focus on narrowing the pace variation between the second and subsequent miles, working towards maintaining a more consistent pace earlier in the race. Engaging in targeted mile-speed drills during training could support this effort.
