Consistency Meets Resistance: A Close Look at Pacing Evolution In the 2026 Surf City Marathon, Tatum Frazier maintained a consistent pace for the first half, averaging around 8:31 to 8:35 min/mile. She demonstrated early strength, most notably between miles 3 and 5, where she climbed from 93rd to 55th in gender-specific rankings. Her speed peaked at mile 11 with an impressive 8:13 min/mile. However, as the race progressed, external factors likely led to pacing fluctuations, culminating in a notable drop to a 15:23 min/mile by mile 21. Despite this deceleration in the latter stages, Frazier completed the marathon in 4:07:58, with an average pace of 9:27 min/mile. The shift from initial consistency might indicate room to optimize endurance and recovery strategies. Finishing in the middle of the pack at 719th out of 2517, her effort establishes a foundation on which to build further speed and endurance.
