Consistent Pace with Room to Improve Final Kick Viridiana Rodriguez maintained a consistent pace throughout the 2026 Mesa Marathon 10K, showing steady progress. Her splits reveal an initial split of 9:45 min/mile, slightly improving to a 9:31 min/mile pace during the second mile. She sustained a relatively stable pace for the remaining miles, fluctuating within a small pace window, eventually finishing the race with an overall elapsed pace of 9:40 min/mile.
