Date: Sept. 3, 2026 Participant: Mira Gafieva #3778 Race: 2026 Run The Wharf 5K

Strong Negative Split and Fast Closing Kilometres Mira ran 5.00 km in 30:46, averaging 6:09/km. She placed 114th in the female 3640 division and finished 2,619th of 5,624 overall. Her pacing improved steadily after the opening kilometre: 6:08, 6:35, 6:34, 5:53, then a quickest final kilometre of 5:37. That late-race progression stands out. From 3 km to the finish, she cut her pace from 6:25/km average to 6:09/km overall, gaining 13 places overall and 18 among women across the last kilometre. On a fast evening 5K through Canary Wharf, that finishing speed suggests good reserve. The clearest next step is to bring a little more of that 45 km pace earlier into the race.
