Consistent Effort and Strong Finish Alex Hall completed the 2026 Mesa Marathon with an elapsed time of 6:23:23, covering 26.2 miles at an average pace of 14:38 min/mile. Alex represented the "Sundevil Saturday" team and secured the 216th spot in the M19-24 age division. Notably, the race began with a steady pacing, where he maintained an initial pace of 10:58 min/mile during the first mile and reliably adjusted as the miles progressed. Alex showcased an encouraging finish, improving his pacing in the last two miles with times of 13:02 and 12:35 min/mile, demonstrating a strategic push to the finish line. It may be beneficial for Alex to focus on maintaining consistency mid-race, especially noticeable around mile 14 where he experienced his slowest split at 22:12 min/mile. Targeting intervals that simulate these conditions could aid in sustaining momentum throughout the marathons duration. Great effort, Alex!
