Consistent Pacing in a Crowded Field Manoj Nayak showcased strong consistency during the 2025 Boulderthon with minimal fluctuations in pacing throughout the half marathon distance. His steady pace began with a 7:52 min/mile for the first mile, progressively maintaining a range between 7:46 and 8:20 min/mile over the 13.1-mile course. Notably, Manoj's most consistent pace was 7:55 min/mile, which he maintained over several late miles, including at mile 10.

Impressively, he surged to eighth in his division with a faster pace in the fifth mile, demonstrating resilience. His overall elapsed time was 1:44:26. For future races, focusing on slight improvements in the latter miles could enhance positioning; particularly aiming to maintain split paces closer to early miles might yield beneficial results. Overall, it was an admirable performance with a highly consistent pace.
