Date: March 29, 2026 Participant: Lisa ColDepietro #9778 Race: 2026 Saucony Love Run Philly Half Marathon Distance: 13.1 miles

Consistent Pacing with Strong Mid-Race Performance Lisa maintained a steady pace during the initial miles, consistently hitting close to her target with paces around 9:58 min/mile. A noteworthy increase in speed happened between miles 4 and 5, with a split time of 9:30 min/mile. This momentum contributed to her solid mid-race standings, positioning her at 113th in the F40-44 division by mile 5. Maintaining an average pace of 10:00 min/mile for the race is commendable across a half marathon. Her final time of 2:11:10 places her 133rd in her division and reflects excellent pacing consistency. The minor slowdown just past halfway suggests a practical opportunity to focus on maintaining energy reserves for the latter stages. The splits reveal a good strategy and execution, with a slight variation in split times toward the race end. Fine-tuning the pacing strategy for the last miles may further enhance future results.
