Consistent Performance with Notable Splits Sarah Payton completed the 5K race at the 2025 Boulderthon with an elapsed time of 1:16:16, averaging a pace of 24:36 min/mile. Notably, Sarah's best split was between the second and third miles, where she clocked a split time of 23:12 her fastest segment of the race. Overall, she placed 1663rd out of 1972 participants, with a 115th placing in her division (F20-24). Focus on maintaining consistency throughout the race would be beneficial; The second mile was her slowest at 26:12 min/mile, which is higher than her average pace. Future runs could benefit from strategies to maintain that stronger, consistent pace seen in her third mile split. Reviewing pacing techniques and perhaps introducing interval training could aid in gaining speed in earlier segments. Well done on finishing strong, Sarah!
