Consistent Start, Opportunities in Closing Stages In the 2025 Boulderthon 10K, Nicole Reed maintained a solid performance, covering the first mile in 8:59. Her steady pace persisted through the second mile, clocking another 8:59. Despite a slight drop to 9:11 in mile three, Nicole effectively balanced her effort, recording an overall pace of 9:48 min/mile for the 6.2-mile race. She finished with an elapsed time of 1:00:46, placing 25th in her division (F40-44) among a field of 2,428. While Nicole's initial splits were strong, a review of the fourth mile shows a slower pace of 10:35, which may indicate an opportunity to maintain consistency in the later stages. Encouragingly, the fifth mile saw a remarkable boost, finishing at 11:24. As a coach, harnessing consistency in pace, particularly during the later miles, will further enhance overall performance in future races.
