Consistent Pacing Leads to Event Completion Salvador Estril delivered a steady performance in the 2025 Mesa Marathon 10K with a final time of 1:31:32 and an average pace of 14:45 min/mile. Notably, Salvador improved his pace in the later miles, dropping from a 16:09 min/mile in the first split to a more consistent pace under 15:00 min/mile throughout the rest of the splits. He held his position well, showing a consistent pace regardless of the elapsed fatigue, especially evident between miles 3 to 6.
