Each subsequent mile saw a slight increase in split times, from 17:29 in the second mile to 18:42 in the third, before stabilizing slightly in the final mile at 17:48 min/mile. Future training could focus on enhancing pace consistency, particularly between the second and third miles, to improve overall time and positioning.
