Date: Sept. 28, 2025 Participant: Joe Moser #11911 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

Consistent Early Splits, Late Slowdown, Strong Close Finished 26.2 mi in 4:19:37 (9:54/mi). Reached 13 mi in 1:55:09; final 13.2 mi took 2:24:28. Miles 1–12 stayed within 37s, from 8:29 (mile 10, fastest) to 9:06 (mile 7). Pace eased after mile 17, with 10:16–13:32 between miles 18–25, before a rebound to 10:27 at mile 26. Coaching notes: Preserve that early consistency deeper by starting a touch more conservatively and building from mile 20. Prioritize progression long runs that finish strong, marathon-pace tempo blocks (6–10 miles), and late-race simulations (steady effort miles 18–24). Strides and light strength work can support economy and maintain form when fatigue rises.
