Consistent Start with Split Variations Justin Belnap started the 2026 Shamrock Run Fest 5K with a steady pace, recording a first mile split of 9:09 minutes, placing him 72nd in his M30-34 division. However, as the race progressed, his pace slowed slightly, reflected in a second-mile split of 10:44 minutes, dropping him to 104th in his division. His cumulative time for the race was 31:15, with an overall pace of 10:05 min/mile, placing him 193rd in his division. A slight variance in split times between the miles suggests an opportunity to maintain a more consistent pace throughout the run. The final mile showed a small improvement in pacing, clocking in at 10:25, which is an area of incremental gain. With consistent training, focusing on sustaining even splits can help improve overall race performance, particularly in the latter parts of the race. Keep building on this solid foundation, Justin!
