Consistent Pace with Strategic Splits Roger maintained a steady performance at the 2025 Boulderthon Half Marathon, finishing with an elapsed time of 1:43:09 and an average pace of 7:52 min/mile. Starting strong, he achieved a 7:56 pace in the first mile, advancing with a quicker 7:45 in the second. This tactic of maintaining a swift pace helped him surge to 277th overall by mile 5, showcasing a peak effort for that segment at a 7:40 min/mile pace. Roger fluctuated within the M55-59 division, holding a consistent position from the 4th mile onwards. Although the 11th mile saw a slight drop with an 8:20 pace, recovering quickly to 7:50 in the 12th mile demonstrates resilience. Strategically aiming for consistent splits can improve standings, particularly in miles 6 to 13, as there was a smooth range between 7:47 and 7:54 min/mile. Keeping this up will likely strengthen future results in an already competitive age division.
