POST-RACE DATA ANALYSIS - BOSTON 2025 - Korir's Resilience Profile: Quantifying the Comeback Pace

John Korir's win (2:04:45) is a case study in data-driven resilience. His fall near the start meant a critical loss of time and energy—the exact data points we track. However, Korir successfully re-integrated and mounted his decisive move around mile 20 (32 km). The fact that he was able to run one of the fastest times ever on this challenging course after a physical setback highlights an extraordinary high-end reserve capacity. The tight finish for 2nd (Simbu) and 3rd (Kotut) in 2:05:04 further shows that Korir’s 19-second margin was built entirely in that critical final 10K.

The narrow six-second margin over Evans Chebet (2:07:45) confirms that the race was decided purely in the final, agonizing kilometer in Central Park. Nageeye’s ability to find that final acceleration, or "kick," after navigating the bridges and hills, shows superior management of his anaerobic reserve. On a challenging course where times are generally slower, the tight finish highlights that the pacing strategy was conservative early, leading to a maximal effort finish.
