Consistent Improvement Across the Splits Laura Montoya participated in the 2025 Boulderthon Half Marathon, finishing with an impressive time of 2:26:09 over the 13.1-mile course, achieving an overall pace of 11:09 min/mile. She significantly improved from her previous Boulderthon performance in 2024, where she completed the race in 2:55:35 with a pace of 13:24 min/mile. This shows remarkable progress and dedication. In the recent race, Laura's split times exhibited consistency and a notable ability to recover quickly after a slower segment. Her fastest split was clocked at 6:45 during the fifth mile, a significant moment where she also placed 136th in her division. Despite a challenging fourth mile at 15:13, she efficiently picked up her pace in subsequent miles. As a coach, she should focus on maintaining the pace variations and continue working on mid-race endurance to further enhance her performance. Excellent job representing the Gonzos team!
