Consistent Pace with Strategic Surges Adam Follett completed the 2025 Boulderthon Marathon with an official time of 3:49:18, maintaining an average pace of 8:45 min/mile. In his age group M35-39, he placed 36th out of 2678 participants. Notably, he executed consistent pacing during the race, evident from the stable sub-9 min/mile splits, particularly from mile 7 through 11, with the fastest observed at mile 10 at 7:25 min/mile. One area to focus on is maintaining pace consistency in the latter portion of the race. The splits for miles 17 through 21 dropped significantly, averaging around 9 min/mile, before returning to more consistent paces. Despite these variations, he still improved overall compared to the 2023 Boulderthon, showcasing resilience by finishing nearly one minute faster this year. Sustained pacing for the final miles could lead to an even stronger finish in future races.
