Consistent Pacing with Room for Speed Gains Michael Corbett participated in the 2025 Boulderthon 5K, completing the race with an elapsed time of 25:47 and an average pace of 8:19 min/mile. His placement was 193rd overall, 131st for his gender, and 25th in the M25-29 age division, out of a competitive field of 1,972 participants. His splits showed consistent pacing, with the first mile at 8:29, the second mile improving to 7:56, and the final mile increasing slightly to 8:09. Compared to the previous Boulderthon in 2024, Michael's performance slightly decreased from his earlier time of 24:46, running at a pace of 7:59 min/mile. The splits indicate that maintaining a consistent sub-8-minute pace may be beneficial in future races. Continuing to work on steady pacing during the middle mile might aid in sustaining a faster overall time. Keep focusing on interval training to enhance speed endurance.
