Date: March 29, 2026 Participant: Connor Pulsipher #4069 Race: 2026 Saucony Love Run Philly Half Marathon Distance: 13.1 miles

Consistent Pacing with a Strong Finish Connor Pulsipher completed the 2026 Saucony Love Run Philly Half Marathon with a final time of 1:44:41, averaging a pace of 7:59 min/mile over the 13.1-mile course. His splits show a steady increase in performance, peaking during the final stretch with a 7:06 min/mile pace in the last mile. Starting with an 8:30 min/mile pace for the first two miles, Connor effectively lowered his pace, moving to 8:25 min/mile by mile three, and gradually improving throughout the race. His strongest segment was between miles 12 and 13, where he held a two-mile average pace below 7:40 min/mile, eventually strengthening in the last mile. The mid-race miles, particularly miles 5 through 7, offered some variance, but Connor regrouped effectively for a strong finish. As a suggestion, addressing the mid-race pace fluctuations could provide a more consistent performance throughout. Overall, a solid effort with a commendable closing mile.
