Date: March 29, 2026 Participant: Donel Forte #2242 Race: 2026 Saucony Love Run Philly Half Marathon Distance: 13.1 miles

Consistent Start, Slight Decline: A Steady Half Marathon Performance In the 2026 Saucony Love Run Philly Half Marathon, Donel Forte showed impressive consistency in the first half of the race. She maintained a steady pace of 8:43 min/mile for the initial four miles, holding her position at 2416th overall, 795th in gender, and notably holding 17th in her division. This consistency at the start set a solid foundation for the race. As the race progressed, there was a noticeable shift in pace around the 5-mile mark, with a slight slowdown to a 9:20 min/mile pace by the last split. This resulted in a final overall pace of 9:04 min/mile and a completion time of 1:58:55. Although finishing 36th in her F50-54 division, there's an opportunity to enhance endurance in the latter miles to maintain or improve early pace levels. Solid foundation and understanding pace will be key for future improvement.
