Paced Start, Slower Finish Tom Lasch of Gilbert, AZ showed a clear pacing strategy in the 2026 Mesa Marathon. Splitting right around the 6:50 to 7:00 min/mile mark for the first part of the race, he performed consistently, peaking at 6:56 min/mile overall pace by mile 8. He maintained placements within the top 400 runners, showing strength as he moved through the race. However, post mile 13, there was a notable decline in pace, with times extending into the 8-minute range and splits reaching over 9-minute miles towards the end. Overall, Tom completed the marathon in 3:34:31, with an average pace of 8:11 min/mile. Compared to his 2023 performance, this represents a slower completion time, with room to work on the latter half paces to achieve a stronger finish. Engaging in more endurance-focused training that emphasizes maintaining pace in later stages might be beneficial. The dedication to his running journey with the AMP Run Team is commendable.
