Date: March 29, 2026 Participant: Sophia Iliadis #8225 Race: 2026 Saucony Love Run Philly 7K Distance: 4.35 miles

Consistent Pace with a Slight Endurance Drop Sophia maintained a stable pace for the majority of the 7K race, with her first three miles timed consistently at 10:46 per mile. This consistent pace demonstrates strong initial pacing strategy and endurance for the opening segments, as her positions in those miles remained static: 396th place overall, 215th among women, and 43rd in her division. In the fourth mile, her pace slightly decreased to 10:58 per mile, resulting in a position shift to 492nd overall, showing a need to maintain speed in later stages. With an overall race time of 48:19 at an average pace of 11:06 per mile, Sophia finished 939th overall and 101st in her division. To improve future races, focusing on sustaining pace in the latter half of the race could be beneficial. Her performance forms a solid foundation for future improvement in maintaining speed consistency throughout.
