Consistent Pace with Late Endurance Drop Christopher completed the 2025 Boulderthon Marathon with a final time of 4:00:52, maintaining a consistent average pace of 9:11 per mile. He showed strong pacing through the majority of the race, with split times often hovering around the 8:54 to 9:03 range. Notably, his fastest mile was at split 12 with an 8:06 pace. His pace consistency placed him 23rd in his division of M15-19. A notable aspect of Christopher's race was the shift in pace during the final miles, moving from sub-9 minute splits to splits over 10 minutes in the last few miles. This drop in speed suggests a potential area for training focus over extended distances, specifically working on maintaining pace endurance in later stages. Despite this, his consistent mid-race pacing indicates a strong base, hinting at his capability to optimize his performance with some strategic endurance training.
