Date: Oct. 26, 2025 Participant: Favour Ihenwe #1798 Race: 2025 UTHealth Houston Half Marathon Distance: 13.1 miles

Consistency and Opportunity for Improvement Favour Ihenwe, participating in the 2025 UTHealth Houston Half Marathon, demonstrated determined effort with consistent pacing throughout the race. Starting strong, the first mile was completed at a pace of 9:52 min/mile, the fastest in the first half. Over subsequent miles, a gradual deceleration in pace was observed, especially from miles 8 to 12, with the slowest pace clocked at 13:40 min/mile. This consistency in splits from the 11th to 13th mile suggests a good effort to maintain rhythm despite the gradual slow-down. Overall, Favour completed the half marathon in 2:35:19, with an average pace of 11:51 min/mile. He placed 1973rd among male participants and 192nd in his division (M20-24). The Rad Runners can take pride in Favour's commitment, yet might focus future training on pace endurance beyond the 8-mile mark. Refining finish-line strategy could enhance overall timing and placement.
