Consistent Mid-Race Improvement Liz Kruse demonstrated a consistent pace throughout the 2026 Shamrock Run Fest 5K. Her overall time was 43:50, maintaining an average pace of 14:08 min/mile. Starting off with a paced opening mile of 20:09 min/mile placed her 4698th overall. Importantly, she showed significant improvement in the second mile, achieving a split time of 8:05 min/mile, moving up to 3217th place overall. This split reflects a strategic and focused effort, particularly considering faster competitors. Final placement saw Liz at 194th in her division of females aged 45-49, out of a total of 6521 participants. One point for consideration is the third mile's split time of 14:17, which suggests a slight decrease in speed from the second mile. Concentrating on consistency in late-race pacing could elevate her results in future races. Keep up the dedication, Liz!
