Consistency in the Early Miles, Opportunities in the Later Stages Kenneth Hastings delivered a solid and consistent start at the 2025 Boulderthon 10K. He began with an even pace of 8:13 min/mile for the initial two miles, maintaining his 282nd position overall. His split pace consistency is commendable across these segments, indicating strong initial pacing strategy. However, as the race progressed, there was a noticeable change in his pace, particularly from mile three onwards. From mile three, his pace transitioned to as high as 10:23 min/mile by mile six. This later stage deceleration is reflected in his overall pace of 9:20 min/mile. While he initially held strong in the M30-34 division at 41st place, he concluded at 69th. Consider focusing on endurance training or pacing adjustments for maintaining pace in similar distances. This focus can help sustain the strong start throughout the entire race.
