Consistent Performance with Strong Middle Splits Jacques Gauthier completed the 2025 Boulderthon Half Marathon with a finish time of 1:26:22, averaging a pace of 6:35 min/mile. He maintained a strong and consistent performance throughout the race, showing particularly strong middle splits. Notably, the fifth mile was completed in 6:22, which contributed to his improved placement at 60th overall during that split. His overall placement was 94th out of 6546 participants, ranking 80th in the male category and 17th among those aged 25-29. While some of the later miles showed a slight increase in individual split times, such as mile 10 completed in 6:44, Jacques maintained a steady overall pace. Consistency in pacing was a key strength, suggesting potential areas to push further might lie not in pacing adjustments but in maximizing speed without compromising consistency in future races. Keep focusing on maintaining your strong middle splits, as they demonstrated excellent capability to make strategic gains.
