Consistency in Pacing Leads to Solid Finish John Elliott completed the 2025 Boulderthon 10K with a total time of 1:01:10, averaging a pace of 9:51 min/mile over the 6.2 miles. Notably, John showed strong consistency in the first two miles with identical split times of 9:24. His pacing adjusted slightly through the race, with splits ranging from 9:24 to 10:14 min/mile, showing resilience in maintaining a steady effort despite the gradual pace increase. John placed 707th overall out of 2,428 participants, with a finish position of 385th among men and ranking 12th in the M50-54 division. His pacing consistency early in the race suggests a well-managed effort. To enhance performance further, attention could be given to maintaining mile consistency in the latter parts of the race to avoid pace drop-off. Adjusting pacing strategies and focusing on specific segments in the latter half may provide a competitive edge in future races.
