Consistent Pacing with a Strong Finish Blessing Ogunbanwo showcased a consistent performance in the 2025 Boulderthon 10K. Her splits varied slightly, starting with a 16:02 min/mile pace for the first mile and smoothing out to a slightly faster pace, reaching a 15:18 min/mile by mile six. Impressively, the fifth mile was her fastest at 15:24 min/mile, indicating a resilient strategy in the back half of the race. Her overall pace was 15:44 min/mile, culminating in a finish time of 1:37:34. While placed 258th in her division, the team spirit from ZFT Run Club likely offered valuable camaraderie. Future races could benefit from maintaining momentum evidenced in mile five earlier on, and working on increasing pace through the middle segments could improve final standing. Blessing's resilience and pace improvement throughout the event are great foundations for subsequent performances. Keep up the training and focus on sustaining that closing strength earlier in the race.
