Date: Oct. 26, 2025 Participant: Rutvi Shah #8550 Race: 2025 UTHealth Houston 10K Distance: 6.2 miles

Consistent Improvement and Strong Finish Rutvi Shah demonstrated noticeable progress in the 2025 UTHealth Houston Half Marathon & 10K. Completing the 10K in 1:23:48, she improved her pace to 13:31 min/mile compared to her previous 14:47 min/mile in 2024, shaving off nearly eight minutes. This performance placed her 1232nd overall out of 2010 participants, and 132nd in her division (F25-29), climbing over 40 positions since last year. Analyzing her splits reveals a consistent start with the first mile at 12:45 min/mile. Although her pace slightly slowed, she maintained a steady performance averaging between 13:20 and 14:06 min/mile. Notably, miles four and five showed consistency at 13:41 and 13:21 min/mile, respectively. Focusing on pacing and perhaps aiming for a consistent rhythm from miles three to four could help sustain speed in future races. Rutvi can build on this solid performance with targeted pace training.
