Consistent Pace with Strategically Managed Splits In the 2025 Boulderthon 10K, Spencer Phillips maintained a stable performance throughout. Spencer began the race with the first mile split at 9:23, which he slightly improved in the second mile, marking an 8:36 pace. This adjustment shows a strategic effort to find a comfortable and sustainable speed early on. Notably, Spencer's third-mile split of 9:31 indicates a steady and consistent presence, although slightly below the initial quick start. The fourth mile represented a pivot point, where his pace shifted to a 10:05, an opportunity to enhance pacing in future races. By the fifth mile, a time of 10:01 suggested adaptation to the race conditions, allowing for a rebounding final mile. Ending with a total time of 59:59 over 6.2 miles, Spencer's average pace was 9:40 minutes per mile. The results show room for continuous development, particularly with consistent pacing strategies in the mid to later stages.
