Consistent Pace with Strategic Recovery Kayah Mangan successfully completed the 2025 Boulderthon Marathon, covering 26.2 miles in 6:20:21. Throughout the race Kayah maintained an average pace of 14:31 min/mile, showing initial strength with a split pace of 11:36 min/mile at mile one. Noticeable was her strategic recovery period during mile five with a significant slowdown to a pace of 27:34 min/mile, allowing for energy preservation. A strong finish in the female division 20-24 placed her 144th. Consistency was a key factor in Kayah's race plan. After the recovery phase, her pacing stabilized with a range between 14:13 and 15:31 min/mile. The concluding miles 25 and 26 showed remarkable consistency, both clocking in at a pace of 15:25 min/mile. Analyzing results, a noteworthy finding is her ability to maintain this average, suggesting space for slowing less in future mid-race segments to maintain momentum. Great effort overall from Kayah and Team Boulderthon 2025.
