Spencer Johnson = PR at Houston Marathon

Congrats to Marist Running Alum Spencer Johnson, as he continues to make great progress at the 26.2-mile distance. On Sunday morning in Houston, Spencer lowered his PR by more than a minute with a strong finishing time of 2:21:18. Racing for the San Diego Track Club, Spencer was on sub-2:20 pace for much of the race. Racing that hard and that far is not easy. Spencer is making steady, gradual improvement and ran what is likely a Marist Alumni record for the marathon distance (according to a Loyal Blog Follower, the unofficial Marist Alumni record was Girma Segni’s 2:21:36). Spencer’s splits:

5km = 16:35

10km = 32:53

15km = 49:19

Half marathon = 1:09:31

25km = 1:22:26

30km = 1:39:04

35km = 1:55:48

40km = 2:13:23

Finish = 2:21:18
