Consistent Effort with Vigorous Pace Changes Natasha Nehra completed the 2025 UTHealth Houston Half Marathon with an overall time of 2:28:41, achieving an average pace of 11:21 min/mile. Across the 13.1-mile race, Natasha demonstrated notable consistency, particularly from miles 2 through 9 where her pace remained within the 11:00 to 11:09 min/mile range. Her fastest split was mile 5 at 10:42 min/mile and again at mile 7 at 10:41 min/mile. These splits highlight her potential for quick bursts and effective pacing strategy. During the latter part of the race, there was a slight decrease in performance with splits ranging from 11:49 to 12:06 min/mile in the last few miles, suggesting some fatigue. This impacted her final standings, with an overall placement of 2914 out of 4907 participants. Her performance in her division F20-24 placed her consistently around the 120s mark. For future races, a focus on endurance training in later miles could further improve her times and consistency.
