Steady Pace with Potential for Speed Refinement Adam Harberg, a 36-year-old from Centennial, CO, completed the 2025 Boulderthon 5K with an elapsed time of 32:50, averaging a pace of 10:35 min/mile. His performance started strong with a 10:06 min/mile pace in the first mile. However, there was a noticeable gradual pace decline over the distance, with the second mile clocking 10:33 min/mile, followed by 11:03 min/mile for the third mile. Overall, he ranked 41st in his age division (M35-39). While retaining a consistent pace at the start, there's an opportunity to work on maintaining speed throughout the race. Adam's split times indicate that maintaining the initial pace could lead to improved placement. Focusing on even pacing strategies, particularly after the initial mile, might enhance future race performances. This race serves as a strong benchmark for potential pace improvements and endurance focus.
