Consistent Pacing with a Strong Finish Mark Anderson finished the 2025 UTHealth Houston Half Marathon with an elapsed time of 1:26:25, maintaining a consistent average pace of 6:35 min/mile. Throughout the 13.1-mile race, his pace varied slightly but remained impressively steady. Notably, his final split was his fastest at 6:22 min/mile, a strong finish that shows potential for future races. Mark's position fluctuated slightly during the race, starting at 111th place overall and finishing at 101st out of 4,907 participants. Within his gender, he moved from 101st to 94th, and in the M40-44 division, he finished 11th. Mark's pacing was most consistent in the middle miles, suggesting an area to focus might be maintaining that steadiness in his early miles. Improved consistency here could enhance his overall performance. Continued training with the Houston Striders should help further capitalize on his strong ending splits.
