Strong Improvement in Each Mile Theo Wood ran the 2025 Boulderthon 5K, completing it in 47:32 with an overall pace of 15:20 min/mile. His race strategy showed great progress in pacing. Starting with a 17:12 pace in the first mile, he improved his speed with subsequent splits of 14:48 and 14:32. This steady improvement should be celebrated, especially considering his age of six and division category M14 & Under, where he ranked 41st. Theo maintained consistent progress throughout the race, which is a key indicator of effective pacing and stamina. His overall placement was 1331 out of 1972 participants, and he ranked 540th in the male category. Team support from Boulder Driftwood might have provided motivation. For future races, focusing on maintaining the improved pace from the last mile earlier on could further enhance his performance. Keep building on this strong foundation, Theo!
