Date: Sept. 3, 2026 Participant: Sam Kaul #2576 Race: 2026 Run The Wharf 5K

Strong Negative Split and Fast Closing Kilometre Sam completed the 5K in 32:25, averaging 6:29/km. He covered each kilometre faster than the last: 6:54, 6:38, 6:32, 6:26, then a quickest final kilometre of 5:56. That is a 58-second improvement from first to last kilometre, a clear negative split. He finished ahead of roughly 48% of the field (2918 of 5624). This was a well-managed effort on a quick evening 5K through Canary Wharf. The standout stat is the close: sub-6:00/km for the final kilometre after already improving through 4K. As a coachs note, the pacing pattern suggests he could likely press a little earlier in the middle kilometres and bring the average pace down further while keeping that strong finish.
