Consistent Early Pace, Challenging Finish Shouzhuo Sun maintained a consistent and commendable pace during the initial phases of the 2025 Mountains 2 Beach Marathon. His first 10 miles saw paces predominantly around the 6:54-7:08 min/mile range, with his fastest mile clocked at 6:44. This steady start placed him in respectable positioning within his division and gender categories, indicating a strong opening strategy. However, as the race progressed, Shouzhuo experienced a gradual decline in speeds. Between miles 20 and 26, the pace slowed to above 8:00 min/mile, culminating in a final average pace of 10:46 min/mile. The most significant drop occurred at mile 21, which took 19:44 and was the slowest split. This suggests that while his start showed impressive potential, pacing adjustments during the latter stages could yield a more balanced overall result in future marathons. Consider focusing on endurance training to sustain speed in the latter part of the race.
