Consistent Division Leader in Half Marathon Johnny Minen showcased a strong performance at the 2025 Boulderthon Half Marathon, completing the course in 1:16:25, averaging a pace of 5:50 min/mile. Notably, Johnny secured 1st place in the M35-39 division. His split times were impressively consistent, hovering around the mid to high 5-minute pace per mile, with a particularly strong close, clocking his final mile at 5:46. Johnny maintained a steady position, moving within the top 20 for most of the race, ultimately finishing 17th overall among 6546 participants. While maintaining first in his division, there was a slight increase in overall time from his previous Boulderthon in 2023, with a differential of 48 seconds in elapsed time and a mild slowdown in pace. Focusing on endurance over the final miles, where his pace dipped slightly, could help enhance future performances. Continued emphasis on tail-end speed will likely be beneficial for maintaining competitive splits throughout.
