Date: Oct. 11, 2025 Participant: Madeleine McIlroy #760 Race: 2025 Boston 10K for Women 10K Distance: 6.2 miles

Consistent Pacing with Incremental Adjustments Madeleine maintained consistent pacing throughout the 10K race, finishing with an overall time of 1:05:34, achieving an average pace of 10:34 min/mile. Her performance demonstrated steadiness, starting with a 10:27 min/mile for the first mile and slowing marginally to 10:35 min/mile in the middle stages, before slightly improving to 10:34 min/mile by the finish. She encountered a significant drop in placement after the first mile but steadily adjusted her pace in subsequent splits. The initial mile placed her 673rd overall, but a quick adjustment in strategy saw her maintain a solid pace, eventually ranking 932nd in her division by the end. This demonstrates her ability to manage her energy and maintain her speed judgment across the race. Continued focus on managing changes in pace between splits could further refine her performance. Overall, this was a commendable effort in a substantial field of 5663 participants.
