Impressive Pace Surge and Strategic Recovery Charley Robinson completed the 2025 Boulderthon Half Marathon in 1:44:04, averaging a pace of 7:56 min/mile. A noteworthy improvement from previous years, where he recorded 2:06:22 in 2023 and 2:16:31 in 2024. His placement significantly improved, finishing 546th overall out of 6546 participants, and 61st in the M35-39 divisiona notable climb compared to a 122-place finish in this division in 2023. Analyzing his splits, Charley started strong with a 7:52 pace on mile 2. There was a deceleration to 11:18 on mile 4, but he recovered remarkably, hitting a consistent sub-8 minute pace from mile 8 onward, with his fastest split of 7:23 in mile 12. As a coach, I recommend focusing on maintaining middle segment consistency to prevent early deceleration, thus enhancing overall performance further. Maintain this momentum, Charley!
