Date: March 29, 2026 Participant: Ilana Kahn #6648 Race: 2026 Saucony Love Run Philly Half Marathon Distance: 13.1 miles

Consistent Pacing with Strategic Surges Ilana Kahn completed the 2026 Saucony Love Run Philly with an elapsed time of 2:00:30 over the half marathon distance of 13.1 miles, maintaining an overall pace of 9:11 min/mile. Favorable early miles were marked by her first split at 9:04 min/mile and improving early with a second mile split of 8:40 min/mile, indicating a strong start. Positions shifted throughout the race, with Ilana moving from a division rank of 179 to 508, among 11586 participants. Despite fluctuating splits, notably a strong push in mile 6 with an 8:43 min/mile pace, Ilana maintained stability with most splits under 9 minutes per mile. A notable effort to hold pace was evident, though a slight slowdown in later miles such as the 9:47 min/mile in the 12th mile points to a strategic element for maintaining energy. For future races, consistent pacing in later miles can be targeted for a stronger finish.
