Date: Sept. 3, 2026 Participant: Anna Krutova #7931 Race: 2026 Run The Wharf 5K

Strong Negative Split With a Fast Finish Anna completed the 5K in 28:02, averaging 5:36/km. She covered each kilometre quicker than the last: 5:48, 5:45, 5:36, 5:32, then 5:23. That 25-second gap between first and last kilometre is a strong closing trend, and her overall pace improved steadily from 5:48/km at 1 km to 5:36/km by the finish. She finished 2,025th of 5,624 overall. Her position improved through 4 km, moving from 2,358th at 1 km to 1,976th at 4 km, with similar gains in the womens and 2630 standings before a slight drop late. The key stat is the finish speed: fastest kilometre came last. As a coachs note, starting a touch closer to 5:40/km could help convert that late strength into a few more places over the full distance.
