Consistent Pacing and a Strong Finish Highlight Performance Thomas Cope maintained consistency in his pacing throughout the 10K at the 2025 Boulderthon, starting with a pace of 10:47 min/mile for the initial mile. Across the race, he managed to gradually reduce his pace, finishing the race with an overall pace of 10:22 min/mile. Notably, his fifth mile was his fastest at 9:54 min/mile, showcasing his ability to pick up speed as the race progressed. Placing 11th in the M55-59 division and 899th overall out of 2,428 participants, Thomas demonstrated effective pacing strategies. His significant improvement in division placement by moving from 15th to 11th across the race is commendable. However, a slightly steadier start could potentially aid in further improving overall race time and placement next time. Keep up this consistent training approach, as it clearly yields positive results!
