Consistency and Strength Shine Through Luke Regnier completed the 2025 Boulderthon Marathon with a final time of 3:46:51, sustaining an impressive average pace of 8:39 min/mile over the 26.2-mile course. Starting with an 8:33 min/mile pace for the first mile, he maintained a strong rhythm throughout, showcasing consistent pacing with occasional surges, such as his fastest split of 7:43 in mile 19. A notable aspect of Luke's race was his ability to maintain consistent position improvements in his division, finishing 57th in his category. A trend worth noting is Luke's ability to recover from a significant drop in pace around mile 3. The elapsed pace during this segment was 14:42 min/mile, but he quickly regrouped and returned to paces consistently under 9 minutes per mile. Comparing this performance to his previous half marathon time from the 2024 Boulderthon, Luke has shown improved endurance and pacing consistency. Sustaining this consistency in pacing, especially in response to pacing fluctuations like those seen early in the race, will aid in future races.
