Consistent Splits but Slowing Finish Ben Stubbings participated in the 2025 Boulderthon 5K race and completed it in 36:36, with an overall pace of 11:48 min/mile. His performance saw stable pacing, beginning with a solid 11:01 for the first mile. His splits show a gradual decrease in speed, clocking in at 11:45 for mile two and 12:43 for mile three. Ben's final placement was 841st out of 1972 participants, positioning him 414th among men and 42nd in his M40-44 division. Reflecting on the results, there is a notable slowdown in pace during the latter part of the race. To enhance future performances, focusing on endurance and maintaining a more even pace through the middle to late stages could be beneficial. This approach might assist in sustaining the early pace and finishing stronger in subsequent races.
