Date: Oct. 11, 2025 Participant: Luisa Pinheiro Koch #5096 Race: 2025 Boston 10K for Women 10K Distance: 6.2 miles

Consistent Finish With Notable Negative Splits Luisa Pinheiro Koch demonstrated an excellent pacing strategy at the 2025 Boston 10K for Women, finishing her race in a time of 54:08. Her average pace was 8:43 minutes per mile, which shows a consistent effort throughout the course. Starting strong with a 9:19 min/mile pace, she systematically increased her pace to finish the race with a split pace of 8:35 min/mile in the final mile. A highlight of Luisas performance is her impressive use of negative splits, decreasing her pace consistently from the first mile to the last. From the initial pace of 9:19 min/mile, she reached a swift 8:28 min/mile pace in the fifth mile. This gradual improvement could be attributed to strategic energy conservation for strong finishes. Placing 308th in her division (F20-29) out of a very large field is commendable. As a coach, exploring strategies to maintain an even stronger start can enhance initial mile pacing. Keep up this consistency, Luisa!
