Consistent Middle-Stage Pace Stronghold Maria Beckett's performance at the 2025 Boulderthon 10K showed notable pacing dynamics and resilience. Starting strong with a 10:17 min/mile in her first split, she slightly accelerated to 9:54 min/mile for her second mile. Particularly interesting was her middle splits where she maintained relatively consistent paces between 11:33 and 13:53 min/mile.
