Consistent Pacing Leads to Steady Finish Simon Holstein completed the Boulderthon Marathon with a total time of 3:57:00, maintaining an average pace of 9:02 minutes per mile over the 26.2-mile distance. His pacing strategy remained consistent throughout the race, evidenced by his steady performance across the various splits. Notably, from miles 18 to 24, Simon effectively maintained a pace close to his average, fluctuating between 9:01 and 9:07 minutes per mile. This consistency likely contributed to his strong finish, with the last split run at 9:04. Simons performance shows resilience, particularly with a slight pickup in pace observed at mile 19, where he achieved one of his faster splits with a pace of 8:27. This demonstrates his ability to push through fatigue in the later stages. To enhance future races, focusing on a slightly faster start or even distribution in initial splits could potentially decrease overall time and improve positioning within the event. Keep training at this steady rate!
