Date: Sept. 3, 2026 Participant: Margaret Aylward #1045 Race: 2026 Run The Wharf 5K

Even pacing with a strong final kilometre Margaret ran 5.00 km in 25:46, averaging 5:09/km. She placed 12th in the Female 4650 division and finished ahead of roughly 74% of the field (1459th of 5624). Through 4 km, her pacing was very steady: 5:09, 5:14, 5:14, and 5:14 per km. The standout stat was the close: her final kilometre was 4:56/km, 18 seconds quicker than kilometres 24 and her fastest of the race. She also moved up from 15th to 12th in her division across the run. That combination of controlled pacing and a late surge fits this fast Canary Wharf evening 5K well. As a next step, aiming to hold that late-race rhythm a little earlier could bring the overall average down further.
