Date: Sept. 3, 2026 Participant: Ming-E Yip #3061 Race: 2026 Run The Wharf 5K

Quick Opening Kilometre Set Up a Solid 5K Ming-E completed the 5K in 30:10, averaging 6:02/km. She opened sharply with a 5:32 first kilometre, then reached 2K in 11:19 at 5:39/km. Through 3K, she was at 17:25, still under 5:50/km average, before finishing strongly enough to hold a sub-30:15 result in a field of 5,624. The key stat is the fast start: 5:32 for the opening kilometre was her quickest of the race. Later kilometres came in at 5:48, 6:06, 6:28, and 6:18, showing the pace drifted after 2K. As a coachs note, the next step is pacing the early effort a little more evenly across the middle kilometres, which could help carry that strong opening speed deeper into the race. Running with Canary Wharf Run Club at this evening closed-road 5K made for a good setting to post a steady overall mark.
