Steady Gains with Consistent Pacing Jorge Viera completed the 2025 UTHealth Houston Half Marathon with a total time of 1:51:51 and an average pace of 8:32 min/mile. A consistent buildup in performance is noted, especially when compared to a previous 10K race (59:26, 9:35 min/mile) at the same event last year. His split times reflect an initial fast start with a commendable first mile pace of 8:42 min/mile, consistently maintaining near 8:20 min/mile for much of the distance. Jorge's transition from the earlier splits, peaking at 7:57 min/mile, to a final split pace of 9:26 min/mile, suggests room for optimizing endurance over longer stretches. Attention to the pacing in miles 9 through 13 will translate to significant improvements. Jorge managed to rise through the ranks from 934th to 907th in the overall standings through impressive pacing. The performance is a testament to steady improvements and opens up opportunities to push towards personal bests in future races.
