Consistency Under Pressure Despite a Slower Pace Evergreen Jurek completed the 2025 Boulderthon 5K with an elapsed time of 49:09, covering a distance of 3.1 miles at an average pace of 15:51 min/mile. Throughout the race, Evergreen showed consistency, especially in maintaining a steady pace over the last two splits: 5:52 min/mile in the second mile and 6:10 min/mile in the third mile. The ability to improve placement in spite of the elapsed time suggests a strong finish. When compared to previous performances, we notice a slower pace than previous yearsa 15:31 min/mile pace in 2023 and 13:04 min/mile pace in 2024. Although Evergreens positioning improved in terms of sustaining place overall, position in division displayed positive consistency. The key takeaway for future races could involve focusing on the first mile as it had the slowest pace. Looking into pacing techniques or interval training may help regain your prior year's pace.
