Consistency and Strategic Pacing Leah Glidden maintained impressive consistency throughout her 2025 Boulderthon Marathon. Her average pace was 9:36 min/mile, with notable speed during several segments. Her best splits included mile 15, where she clocked an 8:15 min/mile pace, and her 10th mile was completed at an 8:16 min/mile pace, displaying a burst of speed midway through the race. Leah demonstrated steady performance, with a total marathon time of 4:11:34. However, in the latter portion of the race, specifically from miles 21 to 26, Leah experienced slower paces, peaking at 13:35 min/mile during mile 23. Monitoring energy expenditure and pace consistency in future events could improve these later stages. Her effort became more challenging as the race progressed, reflected in her placing dynamics, where she gained strength early on but faced greater competition later. Leah has set a solid foundation, and she can enhance her finish by focusing on stamina and maintaining her early pacing during future races.
