Sustained Recovery Mid-Race Fuels Strong Finish Zach maintained consistent pacing at the 2025 Boulderthon Half Marathon. Notably, his splits showed an overall consistency, averaging 8:34 min/mile, with only a couple of variations. His fastest split was at mile 9, clocking a swift 6:35 min/mile, significantly improving his overall position. The fourth mile was slower at 12:25 min/mile, but Zach quickly regained pace, resulting in improved positions in later miles. His finish time was 1:51:57, with an average pace of 8:32 min/mile, placing him 982nd overall out of 6546 participants. Among male runners, he secured the 665th position. In his division, M40-44, he finished 65th. Zach's capability to recover after the slower miles and sustain a steady pace throughout the race demonstrates solid endurance. To further enhance performance, maintaining an even pace without the mid-race slowdown could yield a more uniform and possibly faster finish.
