Consistent Splits with a Strong Start Jean-Luc Brown completed the 2025 Mesa Marathon, clocking a total time of 4:29:49 over 26.2 miles, maintaining a consistent overall pace of 10:17 min/mile. His split times show a strong start with the first mile at a pace of 9:18 min/mile, and consistent improvement through the first half, with the fastest mile at 8:46 min/mile recorded at mile 12. Notably, his performance saw a consistent middle segment from miles 10 to 14, all under 9:00 min/mile pace. However, as the race progressed, a slight decrease in pace was observed, with the final miles slowing to above 13:00 min/mile.
