Consistent Effort with Notable Finishing Pace Kim Song participated in the 2025 Mesa Marathon, completing the half marathon with an elapsed time of 3:00:33. Maintaining a steady pace throughout, Kim showed resilience by finishing with an overall place of 3107 out of 3859 participants. Her average pace was 13:47 min/mile. Particularly noteworthy was her final split, where she improved her duration significantly with a time of 12:35, bringing her split pace down to 12:35 min/mile. Analyzing the splits, it appears that Kim maintained consistency across much of the race, with slight variations around the midpoint. Given her previous performance at the 2024 Mesa Marathon - where she ran a faster pace of 10:33 min/mile - considering strategies to regain some speed earlier in the race could be beneficial for future events. Kim's affiliation with AZ Run Club provides opportunities for targeted pacing strategies and continued progression.
