Consistent Performance with a Strong Finish Habtamu Cheney demonstrated consistent pacing throughout the 2025 Boulderthon Marathon, maintaining an impressive average pace of 5:33 min/mile. Notably, Cheney's splits reveal strategic speed adjustments, such as the 5:11 min/mile recorded at mile 12 and mile 19. Over the course of 26.2 miles, Cheney's splits varied slightly but strongly favored a consistent rhythm, helping secure an overall time of 2:25:31. The race strategy seemed effective, as Cheney placed 3rd overall and 3rd in the male division amongst 2,678 participants. Starting strong with a 5:22 min/mile pace for the first mile, Cheney showed resilience by regaining speed consistently after any slight slower intervals. A constructive focus could be on working to reduce pace fluctuations in the later miles, as it could potentially shave additional time from the overall result. Nevertheless, the performance was commendable and displays significant potential moving forward.
