Date: Sept. 3, 2026 Participant: Jenia Stoyanova #3566 Race: 2026 Run The Wharf 5K

Strong Finish and Steady 5K Pacing Jenia covered 5.00 km in 38:55, averaging 7:47/km. She placed 89th in the Female 4650 division and finished ahead of nearly 2,000 runners overall in a field of 5,624. Running with EBRD Runners, she also took on the evening Canary Wharf 5K format that blends closed roads with Friday Night Lights social atmosphere. Her pacing showed a quick opening kilometre in 7:06, then a steady middle section: 8:12, 8:13, and 7:59/km. The strongest stat was the close: her final kilometre was 7:27, 46 seconds quicker than kilometres 2 and 3. That late pickup suggests good finishing strength. As a coaching note, aiming for a slightly more even effort after the fast first kilometre could help convert that strong finish into a faster overall time.
