Consistent Performance with Steady Pacing Kayla Hanks participated in the 2025 Boulderthon 5K, showing consistent pacing throughout the race. Her first mile was completed in 11:20, and although her pace gradually slowed, she maintained a steady performance. The second mile was completed in 12:09, and the third in 13:39. Kayla's average pace was 12:27 per mile, finishing the race in 38:38. Despite a slight increase in time taken per mile, Kayla held her ground among her peers. She placed 499th out of all female participants and secured 96th in her F30-34 division, in a field of 1972 participants. This level of consistency in pacing is commendable. Future improvements could focus on maintaining the initial pace over longer stretches to prevent gradual slowing over the race distance. Consider interval training to boost pace stability. Keep training, and those improvements will surely come!
