Date: March 29, 2026 Participant: Carol Sander #10270 Race: 2026 Saucony Love Run Philly Half Marathon Distance: 13.1 miles

Consistent Early Splits, Slight Slow Down in Second Half In the 2026 Saucony Love Run Philly Half Marathon, Carol Sander's initial 4-mile splits demonstrated impressive consistency, each mile clocking in at 11:19 pace. By mile 5, Carol exhibited an encouraging acceleration with a split time of 11:05, marking the fastest mile of the race for her. After the midway point, splits ranging from 12:05 to 12:38 suggest a deceleration, impacting the overall pace to finish with an elapsed pace of 12:04 min/mile. Carols final time was 2:38:15. Notably, she maintained a consistent ranking in her division early on, even at mile 5, placing 40th, but eventually concluded at 47th in the F60-64 category. Maintaining initial split consistency for longer distances could benefit her final standings. Keep up the steady pace, and consider strategies for sustaining the faster paces achieved in the midpoint over longer distances.
