Steady Progress and Improved Pacing Abbas Raza completed the 2025 UTHealth Houston Half Marathon with a time of 3:33:39, showcasing a noticeable improvement from his previous year's time of 3:37:20. His average pace improved to 16:18 min/mile compared to last year's 16:35 min/mile. Throughout the race, Raza maintained steady pacing with consistent splits, while his fastest mile came at mile 5, clocking 13:54 min/mile, which marks a strong segment performance. In terms of consistency and control, Abbas showed potential, particularly in the middle miles where split times averaged around 15:50 min/mile. Placement improved slightly as well, with a significant rise in division ranking to 367th from 355th last year. For future races, maintaining mid-race pace improvements in later miles could help further reduce overall time. Keep focusing on those mid-race segments that saw improvements, and aim to replicate that consistency in the latter parts of the race. Keep up the good work, Abbas!
