Consistent Performance with Steady Pacing Eric Smith maintained a consistent pace throughout his marathon at the 2026 M&T Bank Vermont City Marathon. Over 26.2 miles, his overall elapsed time was 4:54:54 with an average pace of 11:15 min/mile. A noticeable highlight was his ability to slightly increase his pace during mile 9 (10:22 min/mile) and finish with a steady mile 26 (11:04 min/mile), showing endurance in the race's closing phases. Eric placed 20th out of 27 in the M60-64 division, 729th among male participants, and 1187th overall out of 1834 participants. His split times demonstrated consistency, with only a few fluctuations. To potentially enhance future performances, focusing on managing consistent pacing after mile 6 could help maintain speed throughout. The slight increase in split times suggests room to fine-tune endurance further over longer distances.
