Consistent Effort Despite Pace Fluctuations Madison Hayes demonstrated a varied pace through the 2025 Boulderthon Marathon. Her performance included a standout split time of 7:09 in the fifth mile, marking her fastest mile pace at 7:09 min/mile. Despite fluctuations, she maintained an overall average pace of 13:34 min/mile. Madison was able to maintain a relatively stable placement throughout the race, finishing overall 601st in the female category. Constructive feedback includes focusing on maintaining an even pace distribution throughout the marathon. This can be seen in some segments like mile 4 and mile 7 where splits varied significantly, possibly affecting aggregate performance. Highlighting a mid-race recovery in the 19th mile with a 11:38 min/mile pace showcases potential for improved pacing strategy. Participation in additional races could also contribute to gaining more experience in varying pacing dynamics. Great effort by team hayes supporting Madison through the course!
