Consistent Effort, Room to Refine Pace Management Christopher Wylie completed the 2025 Boulderthon Half Marathon with an elapsed time of 2:35:46, averaging an 11:53 min/mile pace. He had a promising start, with a first mile pace of 10:32 min/mile and maintained a sub-11:00 pace until mile four. Notably, during mile nine, he achieved the fastest split of the race at 8:51 min/mile, indicating potential for more consistent faster pacing. His performance saw a positive adjustment in placement, with improvements witnessed mid-race before later drops, concluding in the top half of the M35-39 division, placing 300th out of 6546 participants overall. For further development, paying attention to pacing consistency will be beneficial, as his pace visibly increased over several miles, particularly at the latter end when he recorded a 14:23 min/mile split in mile ten. Incremental pacing training could help in maintaining steady speeds throughout the entire distance. His involvement with the Endurance Run Club is commendable and positions him well for continued improvements.
