Consistent Performance with Steady Pacing Emily Naphtal completed the 2026 M&T Bank Vermont City Marathon with a final time of 5:57:22, clocking an average pace of 13:38 min/mile over the 26.2 miles. Emily's performance showed consistency throughout the race, with split times closely aligned across most distances. Her initial miles maintained a steady pace at around 12:25 min/mile, demonstrating strong early race control. In her age division, F35-39, Emily placed 53rd out of 1834 participants, which shows competitive placement within her category. There was a noted shift in her pace from mile 9 with a quicker split pace of 12:10 min/mile. For future races, Emily might focus on sustaining early race momentum in the latter miles as she experienced some variation in pace, especially from mile 16 onwards, where times gradually extended beyond 14 min/mile. This observation suggests a focus on endurance training could be beneficial to her overall race strategy.
