Date: Sept. 3, 2026 Participant: David Ndanema #2736 Race: 2026 Run The Wharf 5K

Fast Opening 2K Set Up a Solid 5K David covered 5.00 km in 27:02, averaging 5:24/km. His opening kilometre was his quickest at 4:35/km, and he reached 2 km in 9:30 at 4:45/km average. He finished 1,769th of 5,624 overall, placing in roughly the top 31% of the field, and 304th in the male 2630 division. From a coaching view, the standout stat is the aggressive early pace: 2 km at 4:45/km average versus a full-race pace of 5:24/km. The pace then moved through 5:29/km, 5:43/km, and 6:21/km across the final 3 km. A slightly steadier first 2 km would likely help him hold closer to his early rhythm deeper into the race. On a fast evening 5K through Canary Wharf, that opening speed showed strong intent.
