Consistent Pace and Division Success Debby Jones displayed remarkable consistency in her performance at the 2025 Mesa Marathon 10K, maintaining an impressive average pace of 8:38 min/mile. Her splits reveal a strategic approach, starting with a 9:30 min/mile pace but progressively improving her speed over the course of the race. Notably, the last mile was completed in an impressive 7:37 min/mile. Her overall time was 53:37, which positioned her 265th of 2107 participants, and 85th among female competitors. Debby excelled in her F60-64 division, securing the 4th place. An analysis of her splits shows improvements as the race progressed, particularly between miles 5 and 6, which suggests a strong finish. Compared to her past half marathons, where she held similar paces, the enhanced performance in a shorter distance highlights potential strengths in the 10K events. Focusing on these speed increments can further sharpen her race strategy.
