Strong negative split with faster pacing each kilometre He covered 5.00 km in 23:34, averaging 4:42/km. Across 5,624 runners, he finished 945th overall, 614th among men, and 178th in the mens 2630 division. His pacing was notably consistent early, with the first 2 km both at 4:49/km. The standout stat was the progression: 4:49, 4:49, 4:41, 4:39, then 4:37 for the final kilometre. That is a 12-second improvement per kilometre from start to finish, and he gained places steadily through 4 km before holding near that position to the line. As a coachs note, this finish suggests there may be scope to start slightly more assertively while keeping the same strong close. In a fast evening 5K built for rhythm, he finished with his quickest running.
