Consistent Improvement Across the Course Mae Chalmers demonstrated consistent improvement throughout the 2026 Bay to Breakers 12K event, representing team Speed Pede. Starting with her first mile at a pace of 12:39, Mae encountered a slower second mile with a split of 22:58, where her overall position remained constant. However, she strategically tackled Hayes Hill, finishing the third mile at a slightly improved split time of 19:32. It is typical for performance to be affected due to the hill. Post-Hayes Hill, Mae significantly improved her pace, reducing her mile time consistently. Her 4th-mile split was 13:15, her 5th-mile was 14:13, and she further accelerated in the last two miles, achieving splits of 12:49 and 12:43, respectively. Consequently, she finished the 12K with a final time of 1:53:16 and an overall pace of 15:12 per mile. Moving forward, focusing on the earlier miles, particularly the approach to challenging sections, could enhance her overall time further.
