Date: May 24, 2026 Participant: Abby Lofgren #1085 Race: 2026 Vermont City Marathon Distance: 26.2 miles

Consistent Pacing with Room for Improvement in the Late Stages Abby Lofgren maintained a steady pace around the mid-8:40s for a significant portion of the marathon, showing strong control and consistency, especially from miles 3 to 6, where she consistently hit 8:42-8:44 min/mile. She demonstrated impressive focus until mile 6, where her place improved significantly. The fastest split was mile 9 at 8:20 min/mile, indicating potential for faster sustained pacing over shorter distances. In the latter half, Abby faced slight increases in her split times, with the pace rising above 9:00 min/mile at several points, particularly noticeable between miles 20 and 25. The consistency in her early splits suggests she has the capability to maintain her pace further into the race. Considering her overall pace of 8:54 min/mile and final placement, focusing on sustaining her early pace over more of the race could lead to substantial improvements in future events.
