Steady Progress with a Strong Finish AJ Flint maintained an impressive pace throughout the 2026 Mesa Marathon Half Marathon, progressively improving split times from start to finish. His first split was completed in 12:35, with a gradual acceleration by the halfway point, clocking one of his fastest splits at mile 10 with a time of 9:52. Noteworthy is the consistent decrease in split times from 13:00 at mile 2 to 9:26 at mile 13, demonstrating strategic pacing and endurance. Finishing with an overall time of 2:27:14 and an average pace of 11:14 min/mile, AJ's steady increase in pace allowed for a strong finish, placing him 1,396th among male runners. It's important to recognize the improvement from his previous race event where he ran a 10K at a pace of 9:03 min/mile. Focus on further developing the earlier miles while maintaining stamina could continue this positive trajectory. Great job representing AZ Run Club!
