Date: Sept. 3, 2026 Participant: Alp Odabas #2752 Race: 2026 Run The Wharf 5K

Even pacing and a strong late recovery Alp covered 5.00 km in 29:54, averaging 5:58/km. His opening kilometre was his quickest at 5:52, and he stayed controlled through 2 km in 11:53. Mid-race, pace drifted to 6:02/km and 6:09/km, but he corrected well with a 5:58 fourth kilometre and a 5:56 finish. That rebound over the final 2 km is the key stat here: after the slowest split at 3 km, he closed 13 seconds per km quicker across the last 2 km. In a fast evening 5K through Canary Wharf, that shows good composure. For the next race, the main opportunity is to hold the 1 km effort more consistently through 3 km, which would bring the overall average down further.
