Consistent Pace with a Stellar Mid-Race Surge Max Kreidl maintained impressive pacing during the 2025 Boulderthon Half Marathon with a final time of 1:50:13, translating to an overall pace of 8:24 min/mile. Notable was a mid-race surge between miles 4 and 5, where Max achieved a striking 5:00 min/mile split, momentarily elevating his position to 582 overall and 39th in his division. Max's disciplined pacing aside from the surge was consistent, often hovering around the 8:26 to 8:30 min/mile mark, demonstrating commendable control over the race's course. A small inconsistency occurred at mile 4 when Max's split pace dipped to 11:55 min/mile, which suggests a need to manage energy reserves more effectively during extended events. Nonetheless, Max's performance remained steady in the latter half of the race, finishing 857th out of 6546 total participants, showcasing endurance and resilience. As a coach, a focus on sustaining split-time stability can enhance future race outcomes.
