Consistent Start with Opportunities in Split Management Samuel Olson participated in the 2025 Boulderthon 10K. He completed the race in 51:38, with an overall pace of 8:19 min/mile. Despite starting smoothly with a 7:59 min/mile in the first mile, his pace varied in subsequent miles. Notably, his second mile was the fastest at 7:43 min/mile, but by mile five, his pace dropped to 9:22 min/mile, which impacted his overall timing. In the division of M30-34, he finished 30th. When compared to the 2024 Boulderthon, Samuel's performance time increased. Previously, he clocked a 50:00 finish with an 8:03 min/mile pace. His position in the division also saw a shift from 16th last year to 30th this year. For future races, focusing on maintaining a consistent pace in the latter part of the race could be beneficial. Consider integrating pace variation training to target endurance during longer distances.
