Date: Sept. 28, 2025 Participant: Charlie Mcglashen #13210 Race: 2025 Boulderthon Marathon Distance: 26.2 miles Weather: Perfect running weather with temperatures in the 50's to 70's and nice cloud cover

3:51:08 with steady early pacing and a late positive split Finish: 3:51:08 (8:49/mile). Miles 1–16 averaged ~8:18/mile, highlighted by a 7:45 at Mile 12; a Mile 7 blip (9:23) was quickly corrected. The final stretch slowed: Miles 20–25 averaged ~10:09/mile, slowest 11:14 at Mile 25; Mile 26 was 9:57. Half split ~1:48:54 vs. 2:02:14 (positive split ~13:20). Pace vs. prior half (8:01): +0:48/mile. Coaching notes: Extend the 8:18 rhythm deeper by capping mid-race surges and smoothing variance (range 7:45–11:14). Practice fatigue-resistant pacing—finish long runs at 8:45–8:50 and add late-mile blocks near 8:15–8:20. Target steadier miles 20–26 to bring down the ~10:09 average in that segment.
