Consistent Start, Fatigued Finish in Half Marathon Performance Miriam maintained a consistent pace during the initial stages of the 2025 UTHealth Houston Half Marathon. Her splits ranged from 9:07 to 9:10 min/mile from miles 1 to 6, showcasing a steady rhythm. She started strong in her division, placing 10th at the first mile and maintaining a top twelve position through mile 7. Miriam's performance highlights included an impressive third mile achieved at an 8:59 min/mile pace, proving her initial endurance strategy effective. However, in the latter stages, a gradual slowdown was noted beginning at mile 8, where her pace transitioned from 9:16 min/mile to 9:49 min/mile by mile 13. This resulted in a final time of 2:08:51 and an average pace of 9:50 min/mile. As she prepares for future races, focusing on sustaining speed over the final miles could improve her race times and position her better in her division standing. Well done, Miriam!
