Consistent Early Performance with Slight Late Fade Jake Trask maintained a strong performance in the initial stages of the 2025 Boulderthon Half Marathon. His first three miles had consistent pacing, ranging from 6:35 to 6:52 min/mile, with his highest placement at 118th overall during the first mile. Notably, he had an impressive 5th mile with a 6:53 pace, improving his placement to 122nd overall. Throughout the race, his split paces remained under 7:30 until the final mile. In the latter half, Jake's pace gradually slowed, culminating in an 8:16 split for the 13th mile, the slowest in his race. His average pace for the entire event was 7:17 min/mile, finishing the half marathon in 1:35:31. As a coach, focus could be on endurance training to maintain earlier speeds in the final miles. Additionally, implementing pacing strategies could help optimize overall race performance, particularly in the last few miles to prevent a late fade.
