Consistent Pacing with Steady Improvement Noah Holcombe executed a consistent pacing strategy at the 2025 Boulderthon 5K in Superior, CO. He maintained a pace close to 10:40 min/mile in the first two miles and only saw a slight increase to 11:12 min/mile in the third mile. His overall elapsed time for the 5K was 33:40, with an average pace of 10:51 min/mile. Noah's performance saw him finish 70th in the M25-29 division out of 1972 participants, showcasing his progress since the 2023 Boulderthon Marathon. Shifting from a marathon format, where he averaged a 12:43 min/mile pace, to a shorter 5K race demonstrates his improvement in speed and pacing. In future races, aiming for a more even split in the latter stages could further enhance overall performance. Continually working on maintaining or slightly decreasing pace towards race completion would be beneficial for Noah's racing profile.
