Impressive Pace and Strong Finish Michael Plowman from Gilbert, AZ, showcased a commendable effort in the 2026 REVEL Big Cottonwood Half Marathon, covering the 13.1 miles in 1:53:59 at an average pace of 8:42 min/mile. He maintained a steady pace throughout, with notable acceleration between miles 3 and 5 where he clocked his fastest split pace of 7:25 min/mile at mile 5. This strategic burst demonstrates Michael's strong ability to conserve energy for key race segments. Plowman's divisional performance was particularly strong, securing 17th in the M 55-59 category, out of a total of 384 male participants. The split at mile 5 shows a competitive ability to gain ground, as he moved up to 13th in his division. While the later miles saw a slight decline in pace, maintaining an average under 9:00 min/mile throughout indicates solid endurance. For future races, focusing on maintaining that mid-race intensity for longer could yield even more impressive results.
