Date: Sept. 3, 2026 Participant: Giovanni Fronteddu #5684 Race: 2026 Run The Wharf 5K

Strong Negative Split With Fast Closing Kilometre Giovanni completed the 5K in 37:14, averaging 7:27/km. In a field of 5,624, he placed 64th in the Male 55+ division. His pacing improved steadily across the race: 7:46, 7:30, 7:26, 7:23, and 7:11 per km, a 35-second gain from first to final kilometre. That progression is the standout stat. He was faster in every successive kilometre, showing good control early and his quickest running late. Through 4km, his overall position held steady at 3,486 before a slight drop by the finish. The strongest coaching takeaway is to keep building on that finish: with such a well-executed negative split, a slightly quicker opening kilometre could help bring the overall average pace down further at this fast evening 5K through Canary Wharf.
