Throughout the race's first half, Joseph made a steady progression from an 8:56 min/mile pace in the first mile to an 8:45 min/mile pace by mile three, demonstrating a strong start. He experienced a slight pace decrease by the 4th mile, maintaining a range close to the 9:01 min/mile mark, while remaining consistently engaged in his division, M35-39. In the latter part of the race, from mile 6 onwards, there was a noticeable reduction in pace, reaching a slower 10:30 min/mile by mile 12.
