Steady Performance with Strong Second Half Splits Treena Becker maintained a consistent pace throughout the 2025 Mesa Marathon Half Marathon, completing the race in 1:52:14 with an overall average pace of 8:34 per mile. The first mile was completed in 9:21, but she quickly picked up her pace, clocking significant sub-9-minute miles starting from mile two. Her fastest split came at mile four with 8:04, demonstrating a quick recovery from the initial slower start. Treena’s performance shows a commendable ability to balance and maintain pace, with notable consistency in the second half, particularly between miles 10 and 13 where her pace remained tightly grouped around 8:34 per mile. While her placement was 30th in the F50-54 division, there's potential to climb ranks by focusing on a faster start to match her strong finish. Solidarity with her team, Long Run Collective, likely played a positive role in her performance.
