Consistent Effort Elevates Performance Robert Paton delivered a notable performance at the 2025 Boulderthon 10K with a total time of 45:37, averaging a pace of 7:21 min/mile. This shows a significant improvement over his previous 10K from 2024, where he clocked 55:44 with an 8:59 min/mile pace. His steady pacing in this race is evident from initial splits under seven minutes per mile, despite a slight pace increase toward the end. Roberts top splits were the first and third miles, at 6:48 and 6:59, respectively. Robert achieved an admirable 5th place in his division (M40-44), a marked improvement from 15th place last year. Monitoring the gradual slow down from his earlier faster splits, focusing on maintaining the initial momentum could further enhance his performance. Overall, Robert's dedication and consistent effort have clearly paid off, and hes made great strides compared to previous races. Keep building on this progress and aim for even-paced splits throughout.
