Consistent Pacing With Room for Strategic Gains Eric Zawacki completed the 2026 M&T Bank Vermont City Marathon with a finish time of 5:11:02, maintaining an average pace of 11:52 min/mile. Of particular note is his strong start, clocking his fastest split at mile 3 with an 11:11 pace. Eric showed steady pacing throughout, with only minor variances, which reflects well on his ability to maintain a consistent effort over the distance. His pacing pattern demonstrates endurance and the potential for further refinement. Improvements could be made in maintaining mid-race pacing consistency, as observed in the varied splits between miles 16 through 23. Strategically distributing effort to better manage fatigue during these later stages could lead to an overall enhanced performance. Eric's performance, landing him 777th in gender and 94th in his division, shows a solid effort with opportunities for targeted pacing improvements in subsequent races. Maintaining consistent daily training may assist in achieving these goals.
