Steady Mid-Race Splits Offset by Late Challenges Cody Rappoport from Mesa, AZ completed the 2025 Boulderthon Marathon with an overall time of 4:48:24, averaging an 11:00 min/mile pace. Notably, Cody maintained a steady pace between miles 5 and 15, consistently clocking sub-10-minute miles. His strongest mile was mile 5 with a split time of 5:34, demonstrating potential for faster paced segments. However, after mile 16, his pace slowed significantly, impacting his final standing at 1219th overall out of 2678 participants. As his coach, examining the final 10 miles could provide insights into potential fatigue, helping him structure training to enhance endurance and pacing strategies. Consistent pacing through the first three-quarters of the race suggests a strong foundation, but building on that momentum could be key to achieving a steadier finish in future races. Continued focus on endurance and recovery will bolster performance in subsequent events.
