Consistent Improvement and Strategic Planning Robert McBride demonstrated notable progress in the 2025 Boulderthon 5K with an elapsed time of 34:18, improving significantly from his previous 43:42 in the 2024 Boulderthon. His overall pace was 11:04 min/mile, revealing a marked advancement from his prior pace of 14:05 min/mile. His performance in the M30-34 division saw him place 60th, showcasing an improved standing from last year. Analyzing his splits, Robert started with a strong pace of 10:09 min/mile on the first mile but gradually slowed to a 12:23 min/mile pace by the third mile. This indicates room for endurance building to maintain speed. His overall improvement in position, especially considering the increase in total participants, underscores his dedication. For future races, focusing on pacing consistency and perhaps some interval training could help sustain those early-mile paces throughout the race. Great job, Robert!
