Consistent Pace with Strategic Energy Usage Seif Taher maintained an impressive and consistent pace throughout the 2025 Boulderthon Marathon, completing the race with an overall time of 3:41:43 and an average pace of 8:27 min/mile. His early miles were a demonstration of strong pacing, with a slight acceleration observed between mile 4 and mile 5, hitting a swift 7:51 min/mile during that segment. This strategic energy boost was beneficial, as it resulted in his best division placement of 8th in M15-19 for that segment. From miles 6 to 13, Seif's pacing was relatively uniform, maintaining within an 8:20 min/mile window. There was a noticeable slight slowdown post mile 18, with a few slower splits peaking at 9:14 min/mile during the later stages. For future performances, analyzing the gradual increase in split times after the midway point might help in making adjustments for sustained energy distribution. His ability to finish 13th in his division amidst 2678 participants is commendable.
