Consistent Effort with Areas to Refine Pace for Future Races Marija Miletic competed in the 2025 Boulderthon Marathon, completing the 26.2-mile course in 4:17:58, which resulted in an average pace of 9:50 min/mile. Her performance placed her 18th in her division, F35-39, among 172 female competitors, and 733rd overall out of 2678 participants. Her initial miles set a solid standard, maintaining sub-9-minute splits up to the halfway point with the 2-mile split at a swift 8:45 min/mile. As the race progressed, Marija's pace moderately declined with her slowest split occurring at mile 26, clocking in at 14:34 min/mile, a typical challenge for marathoners. Encouragingly, Marija recorded consistent paces around the 9-minute mark from miles 5 through 18. To improve further, focusing on pacing in the later segments and maintaining her rhythm could enhance her overall performance. Consider strategies to sustain the early pace into the latter portion of the race for future marathons.
