Steady Pacing Carries a Strong Half Marathon Finish Hayden Plemmons completed the Half Marathon in 1:50:46, an average pace of 8:27 per mile. His race unfolded in three phases: a brisk opening mile at 8:11, a middle stretch that eased through the high 8:20s and 8:30s, and a closing sequence that fluctuated before a solid finish. The most efficient running came at mile 5, clocked in 7:53, the fastest mile of his race and a clear high point in an otherwise consistent effort. After that peak, miles 6 through 8 slowed into the 8:308:50 range before he found rhythm again through miles 9 and 10. Mile 11 proved his toughest at 8:57, but he responded with a strong 8:13 in mile 12, showing solid finishing instincts at altitude in Boulder, sitting over 5,000 feet above sea level. Overall, a well-managed pacing performance with room to smooth the mid-to-late miles.
