Consistent Early Splits with a Need for Late Race Pacing Adjustments Stephanie Biello completed the 2026 Saucony Love Run Philly half marathon with an overall time of 3:05:18, maintaining an average pace of 14:08 min/mile. Starting strong, Stephanie clocked a steady pace under 13 minutes per mile for the first three miles. By Mile 3, she improved her placement within the F30-34 age division, advancing from 376th to 362nd, a commendable early effort. Notably, Stephanies split times increased in the latter part of the race. The pace during Miles 7 and 10 reached 15:47 min/mile, contributing to a slower average pace in the final stretch.
