Consistent Pacing with a Strong Finish Steve Saul maintained a steady initial pace of 7:52 min/mile for the first two miles of the race, starting from the 108th position among male competitors. The third-mile split on Hayes Hill slightly dropped to an 8:00 min/mile pace, but his positioning improved significantly, advancing to the 69th spot. This demonstrates a strategic tackle of inclines with minimal impact on overall timing. In the latter half of the race, Saul demonstrated remarkable pacing by progressively increasing his speed. His fastest mile was the ninth, clocking a 6:15 min/mile pace, showcasing strong endurance and speed toward the end. Finishing the 15K in 1:06:27, his overall standing was 60th, and he moved to 11th in his division. His ability to accelerate in the later stages indicates potential for an impressive performance if managed earlier in the base pace.
