Date: March 29, 2026 Participant: Gerta Droboniku #52107 Race: 2026 Saucony Love Run Philly 7K Distance: 4.35 miles

Steady Progress with Consistent Pacing Gerta Droboniku completed the 7K in Philadelphia, applying a disciplined approach with a final time of 56:58, averaging a pace of 13:05 min/mile. Her splits show consistent pacing with a slight variation, starting with a 12:47 min/mile for the first mile, picking up slightly to 12:17 in the second mile, then leveling off in the 13:15 to 13:23 range for miles three and four. Maintaining a steady position, Gerta climbed from 894th overall at the first mile to 784th by the second mile but then finished 1638th, possibly indicating increased fatigue toward the end of the race. In her age group (F35-39), her best position was 60th during the second split. Focus may be given to sustaining the momentum gained early on as endurance builds. Consistent training and pace work can further hone her ability to maintain speed throughout the entire event.
