POST-RACE DATA ANALYSIS - LONDON 2025 - Assefa’s WR Surge: An Analysis of the Women-Only Pacing Profile

Tigst Assefa’s 2:15:50 finish broke the women-only marathon World Record, confirming that her late-race surge was not just for the win, but for history. The data indicates she ran a highly protected early race, ensuring she was positioned perfectly to execute her highest-velocity segment after 35 km. The resulting two-minute-plus gap she created over second-place Joyciline Jepkosgei (2:18:44) shows a sharp, late positive split relative to her rivals—a textbook example of converting reserved energy into a record-breaking final push.
