Consistent 5K Performance with Room for Speed Improvement Theodore Ho ran the 2025 Boulderthon 5K with a final time of 30:01, averaging a pace of 9:41 min/mile. Starting strong, he clocked a 9:24 min/mile for the first mile, finishing 408th overall and 25th in his division. Slightly slowing down, his subsequent splits revealed a steady increase with 9:36 and 9:57 min/mile paces for miles two and three, respectively. His overall placement among 1,972 participants was 421st. Compared to his previous half marathon performance at the 2023 Boulderthon, where his pace was 11:26 min/mile, Theodore's 5K pace shows significant improvement in speed. To enhance his performance further, focusing on maintaining consistent pace throughout could be beneficial, as seen in the pace variance during mile three. His consistency in speed indicates a stable performance base, which could be refined further with targeted speed endurance training.
