Notable Improvement with Consistent Pacing Ty Houston completed the 2025 Boulderthon Marathon with a finish time of 3:51:43, showcasing a notable improvement from his previous marathon time of 4:09:10. He maintained a steady overall pace of 8:50 min/mile, a significant progression from the 9:30 min/mile achieved in the 2024 Boulderthon. Ty's pacing strategy was consistent throughout the race, especially through the middle miles, staying around the 8:25-8:28 min/mile mark after a slower start and a brief slowdown in mile 4. A strong segment was seen in mile 5 with an impressive 5:01 min/mile pace, boosting his rank significantly. However, as the race progressed into the final miles, there was a slight decline in pace, with mile splits moving into the 10-minute range. To further optimize future races, Ty might focus on sustaining his earlier pace during those later stages. Overall, Ty demonstrated significant progress and executed a solid performance.
