Steady Start with a Strong Finish Adam Pollard demonstrated consistent pacing in the 2025 Boulderthon 10K, completing the course in 48:54 with an average pace of 7:53 min/mile. The race began strong with the first mile at a pace of 7:07 min/mile, placing him 6th in his age division. As the race progressed, Adam maintained a respectable pace, finishing 11th in the M40-44 division out of a total of 2428 participants. Though there was a notable slowing in splits, particularly at mile 4 with an 8:26 min/mile, Adam was able to enhance his endurance from previous races, having improved his pace from a 9:13 min/mile during the 2024 Boulderthon Half Marathon. Continued focus on pacing consistency across longer distances could be beneficial for future events. The ability to sustain effort beyond the first few miles would further elevate race outcomes.
