Consistent Start with Room for Steady Gains Adam Nicoll maintained an impressive consistency through the initial stages of the 2025 Boulderthon 10K. Beginning with a strong 8:33-minute mile pace, he secured an overall position of 370, 19th in his division, and held a steady rhythm for the first two miles. Challenges appeared in the third mile with a decrease in pace to 9:51, though Adam remained focused. By the fourth mile, his pace settled to 10:07 per mile, impacting his position modestly. In his age group (M40-44), Adam finished 29th out of a significant field of competitors, showcasing resilience across the 6.2 miles. A constructive recommendation for future races would be to maintain earlier consistency into later miles, which could be facilitated with pacing strategies or interval training. His overall time of 59:58 is a solid foundation, indicating strong potential for progression. Maintaining momentum from the beginning could aid in elevating his overall race performance.
