Date: Sept. 3, 2026 Participant: Umidjon Abdullaev #694 Race: 2026 Run The Wharf 5K

Fast Start Secures Strong Age-Group Result Umidjon covered 5.00 km in 22:28, averaging 4:29/km. He placed 33rd in the Male 4145 category, 443rd male, and 698th overall out of 5,624 finishers. That puts him well inside the top 12.5% overall, with a particularly solid age-group showing. In a quick evening 5K setting through Canary Wharf, his opening 1 km of 4:11 was his fastest segment. The pacing trend was 4:11, 4:25, 4:38, 4:44, then 4:31 per km. He reached 2 km in 8:36 and 3 km in 13:14 before losing some time across the middle section, then closing the final kilometre more strongly than the fourth. From a coaching perspective, the key opportunity is pacing control: a slightly steadier first 2 km could help him hold more speed through 34 km and support a faster overall finish.
