Consistent Splits Highlight Steady Race Performance James Scheurer maintained a steady performance throughout the 2025 Boulderthon Half Marathon, concluding the race in 1:32:28. Starting with a strong 6:17 min/mile in the first mile, James gradually adjusted to a more consistent pace, hovering around the 7:007:03 min/mile range for most of the race. Notably, he managed to pick up speed in the 12th mile, clocking in at 6:55, showing endurance towards the end. James finished 154th among men and was ranked 31st in his division (M25-29), representing Boulder, CO, in a field of 6546 participants. The splits indicate an initial strong start but reveal a shifting pace as the race progressed, particularly a drop after the fourth mile, where the pace settled into the low 7-minute range. Ensuring an even pace across later miles might improve overall time and performance. Engaging in interval training or focused tempo runs could be beneficial to sustain speed in the later stages of the race.
