Consistent Performance with Room to Strategize for Speed Marshall Parks participated in the 2025 Boulderthon 10K, completing the race in 1:04:59 at an average pace of 10:28 min/mile. His performance included a notable improvement between miles 3 and 4, where he registered a split time of 0:38 at 10:23 min/mile pace. Placement throughout the race varied, showing potential in earlier and later stages as he finished 925th overall out of 2,428 participants and 110th in his division. Pacing analysis suggests slight variations. The first mile was run at 9:48 min/mile, positioning him 629th overall. The third mile saw a significant decrease in pace with a split time of 20:13, suggesting this might have been a challenging segment. However, Marshall recovered well, improving splits afterwards. A focus on maintaining consistent pacing in the middle miles and exploring strategies for faster transitions could lead to improved overall race times in future events.
