Consistent Start with Dominant Early Splits Frank Loughran maintained a strong start at the 2025 Boulderthon Marathon. Showing exceptional consistency, he matched an 8:21 min/mile pace in the first two miles, placing 33rd in his division. However, between miles 2 and 3, the split time of 26:40 significantly impacted his position, suggesting potential pacing adjustments. Despite the setback, Frank demonstrated resilience by returning to a faster pace of 8:32 min/mile by mile 6, successfully maintaining it through mile 7. His performance remained steady until mile 18, with minor fluctuations. Towards the final miles, his pacing slightly declined, resulting in a finishing pace of 8:56 min/mile and a final time of 3:54:26. To improve results, focusing on sustaining pace throughout the mid to late stages could reduce time loss. His overall placement was 387 out of 2,678 participants, indicating a strong performance amidst a large field of runners.
