Consistent Performance Leads to Division Win John Munson demonstrated a consistent pace throughout the 2025 Boulderthon Marathon, completing the race in 3:52:34 with an average pace of 8:52 min/mile. Notably, John finished first in his division (M65-69), showcasing his endurance and strategy. His early miles were strong, starting with a 7:50 min/mile and remaining under 9:00 min/mile for the first 20 miles, indicating effective pacing. In the latter part of the race, John's splits showed some variation with times extending beyond 10:00 min/mile. This is an area to potentially focus on in future races to maintain earlier consistency. Despite this, he secured an impressive 357th overall position out of 2678 participants, and 291st in his gender category. Its clear that Johns training and effort paid off with a podium finish in his age group. Future training could benefit from targeted endurance work to sustain pace in the final miles.
