Consistent Start with Opportunities to Finish Stronger Jamie Brooks displayed a steady performance in the 2026 M&T Bank Vermont City Marathon. The first half of the marathon was consistently paced, notably improving from a 10:36 min/mile pace at mile 1 to faster paces, with miles 2 and 3 completed at 9:54 and 9:39 min/mile respectively. Jamie maintained an overall pace hovering around the low 10-minute mark for most of the race and showed strong perseverance, solidly placing 453rd out of 1834 female participants at mid-race. In the latter part of the marathon, Jamie faced pacing challenges as split times gradually increased, culminating in a slower pace from mile 20, averaging around 13:00 to 15:54 min/mile. By incorporating focused pacing strategies and potentially pacing partners or technology for monitoring, Jamie may work on maintaining the consistency shown in the early stages throughout the entire marathon distance. Her steady performance in the beginning showcases notable potential for future races.
