Date: Sept. 3, 2026 Participant: Brandon Matthews #793 Race: 2026 Run The Wharf 5K

Quick Start, Then Pace Fade Across 5K Brandon ran 5.00 km in 27:18, averaging 5:27/km. He placed 1833rd of 5624 overall, 1144th among men, and 321st in the mens 2630 division. His opening kilometre was his quickest at 4:55, and he reached 2 km in 10:04 at 5:02/km. In a fast evening 5K through Canary Wharf, he stayed under 5:10/km through 2 km. From there, the pace drifted: 5:34, 5:58, and 5:43 for the final three kilometres. That shows a 1:03 gap between the fastest and slowest kilometre, with the biggest slowdown coming in kilometre 4. The key training focus is sustaining the early speed deeper into the race. A slightly more even effort after 2 km would likely bring the overall average down on the next attempt.
