Steady Splits with Mid-Race Surge Reece demonstrated consistent pacing at the 2025 Boulderthon Marathon, maintaining an average pace of 12:41 min/mile over the 26.2-mile distance. The most notable improvement occurred between miles 4 and 5, with Reece increasing the pace significantly from 16:56 to 7:25 min/mile, improving overall positions. This surge is a promising sign of Reece's capacity to push forward despite early setbacks. In terms of placement, Reece finished 1664th overall and 279th in the M25-29 division. Keeping pace variations minimal, except for the significant surge mentioned, reflects good race pacing. However, towards the race's end there were some slowdowns, such as the 17:23 min/mile at mile 22. Gradual improvements in late-race pacing could positively impact Reeces overall results in future races. Overall, the steady pacing and a mid-race boost highlight determination and potential for refining race strategies.
