Consistent Pacing with a Standout Performance Michael maintained a consistent pace throughout the 2025 Boulderthon Half Marathon, finishing with an overall time of 1:50:38. His average pace was 8:26 min/mile. Notably, during the fifth mile, he clocked a remarkable split time of 4:58 with a split pace of 4:58 min/mile, showing a significant moment of speed. This mile boosted his placement to 489th overall, which is impressive among the 6546 participants. Overall, Michael placed 883rd, 610th in his gender category, and 60th in the M40-44 division. Maintaining an even pace is key, and Michael's performance demonstrates this with most splits closely hovering around the 8:20-8:30 min/mile range. The drop in his pace during the fourth mile suggests a potential area for work on consistency. Focusing on maintaining steadiness during longer race sections may help close any gaps and ensure he maintains his place further up the field.
