Steady Pacing Drives a Strong Marathon Finish Charlie Edwards crossed the marathon line in 4:18:51, an overall pace of 9:52 per mile. His race showed a gradual tightening of cumulative pace, opening near 10:20 per mile through the first 10K and steadily sharpening to 9:54 per mile by the finish, reflecting a runner who found rhythm as the race matured. The strongest stretch came late, with miles 19 and 20 each clocked at 8:55, his fastest sustained running of the day. That surge pulled his overall pace down notably and set up a strong close.
