Strong Start, Opportunities in Later Miles Alexander Breeyear completed the 2026 M&T Bank Vermont City Marathon in 4:51:11 with an average pace of 11:06 min/mile. He experienced a strong start, especially by the third mile where he reached a split pace of 9:32 min/mile. Alexander displayed solid middle-segment performance with a notable improvement at mile six, decreasing his split time to 9:25 min/mile and placing 732nd overall, his best position during the race. In the final stages, particularly from mile 17 onwards, there was a noticeable slowdown, with split times exceeding 12:00 min/mile. This shift impacted his overall placement, resulting in 713th in the male category and 134th in his M25-29 division. For future improvement, maintaining consistent pacing throughout the latter segments could help mitigate pace decay. Focusing on endurance training and pacing strategies may lend assistance for upcoming events.
