Consistent Improvement Showcased in Marathon Debut Nathan Anderson completed the 2025 Boulderthon Marathon with an elapsed time of 3:55:15, averaging an 8:58 min/mile pace. Impressively, his overall placement was 396th out of 2678 participants, placing him 319th among men and 57th in the M30-34 division. His steady pace was noted, as he transitioned from a 9:03 min/mile at the beginning to more consistent sub-9 min/mile splits, hitting 8:58 towards the race's conclusion. Comparing his marathon performance to an earlier 10K race, Nathan significantly improved his pacing. Previously recorded at 11:04 min/mile in the 10K, his marathon average pace reflects substantial progress. Notable splits include the 18th mile, where he clocked an 8:59 min/mile, achieving his highest overall placement at 584th. For further development, focus on maintaining pace in the later miles, particularly beyond mile 24, where split paces slightly dipped. Keep up the dedication; continued practice will yield even better results.
