Consistent Start with a Steady Finish Ellie achieved a consistent run during the 2025 Boulderthon 5K, displaying solid pacing throughout. She opened the race with two identical splits of 9:03 min/mile, hitting the one and two-mile marks at the same pace. Her initial split drew her a very commendable 12th place in her division and 112th among female participants. In the final mile, her pace reduced slightly to 11:06 min/mile. Consequently, she concluded the event with a total time of 29:59 and an average pace of 9:40 min/mile. Notably, she maintained her division position, remaining consistent from the second to the end of the race. As a coach, I would suggest focusing a bit on maintaining endurance over multiple miles, as she saw a slight drop off in her last mile. Overall, she kept a steady performance, showcasing room for strengthening her pacing in future races.
