Consistent Effort with Strategic Room for Growth Brett Behan from Scottsdale, AZ, showcased a steady performance at the 2025 Mesa Marathon 10K. Starting off strong, Brett’s first mile was clocked at 11:24, maintaining a fairly consistent pace throughout the race. Despite a gradual decrease in pace, his elapsed pace of 12:19 min/mile at the end demonstrates commendable endurance. Notably, Brett placed 56th in his division (M40-44) out of a substantial field of runners, emphasizing his competitive spirit within his age group. Brett's performance metrics reflect a solid commitment, yet indicate potential areas that could be polished for future races. Analysis of the splits reveals a slight deceleration from an 11:24 min/mile to a 12:45 min/mile by the sixth mile. Focusing on endurance building and speed work during training may help in minimizing pace drop-off towards the latter part of the race.
