Date: Sept. 3, 2026 Participant: Adam Palaszkiewicz #645 Race: 2026 Run The Wharf 5K

Fast Start Set Up a Solid Sub-27 5K Adam ran 5.0 km in 26:58, averaging 5:23/km. He placed 1751st of 5624, putting him in the top third of the field, and 300th in the Male 2630 division. His opening kilometre was his quickest at 4:41, well under overall race pace, and he reached 2 km in 10:11. From there, his pacing settled into a narrower range: 5:31, 5:48, 5:27, and 5:34 per km. That gave him a 21:24 split through 4 km before closing the final kilometre in 5:34. The key coaching note is pacing control: the gap between the first and third kilometres was 1:07, so a slightly more measured opening kilometre could help him hold closer to 5:205:25/km deeper into the race. A strong stat from this Canary Wharf evening 5K: he stayed competitive in a field of more than 5600 runners.
