Even Early Pace Gives Way to a Tough Back Half Wes Greenberg finished the marathon in 4:28:48, averaging 10:15 per mile. His first 10 miles were remarkably even, holding between 8:46 and 9:21 pace throughout, a strong and controlled start. From mile 11 through 16, pace stayed in a tight 8:089:55 band, keeping his cumulative average near 9:06 per mile at the halfway point. The second half told a different story. Starting around mile 17, per-mile splits climbed steadily, reaching a peak of 15:42 at mile 22, the stretch that includes the lululemon Power-Up Zone near mile 22.5. He rallied over the final miles, closing with three straight splits between 11:38 and 12:17. That opening 10-mile stretch, run at altitude in Boulder, over 5,000 feet, remains the standout segment of his race, and the final miles show a runner willing to push through fatigue toward the Pearl Street Mall finish.
