Consistent Start with Opportunities for a Strong Finish Evie Shusterman from Great Neck, NY demonstrated a steady performance at the 2026 Saucony Love Run Philly. She completed the half marathon in 1:59:46, with an average pace of 9:08 min/mile. Her initial paces were quite consistent, starting at 8:36 min/mile for the first mile. She maintained a sub-9-minute pace through the first half of the race, demonstrating strong early-phase pacing. In the latter part of the race, Evie faced a slight slow down, resulting in splits ranging from 9:02 to 9:57 min/mile. An adjustment in managing pacing between miles 7 and 13 could potentially enhance end-phase performance.

Focusing on maintaining pace in the later stages of races can refine her overall time and improve her placing in future events.
