Consistent Start, Strong Finish Yuta maintained strong initial performance during the 2025 Boulderthon 10K. The first mile was completed in 7:51, placing him 154th overall. However, there was a noticeable change in pace as splits progressed, with a gradual slowdown. Each interval showed consistency in effort, with the first split being the fastest and the fourth the slowest, which increased to 10:51. Maintaining the initial pace throughout the later stages could improve future time. In terms of division, starting in 24th place in the M30-34 category showcased potential. However, placement shifted to 75th by the race's end. Strengthening endurance for the latter half could positively affect overall standing. Ending with a 9:29 min/mile pace, Yuta achieved a final time of 58:48. Consider focusing on speed endurance training to hold initial pace longer, reducing slowdown in later miles, while leveraging the promising aspects of the race for enhanced future performance.
