Date: Sept. 3, 2026 Participant: Zeynep Kokulu #7255 Race: 2026 Run The Wharf 5K

Fast Finish Lifted the Overall 5K Average Zeynep covered 5.00 km in 31:20, averaging 6:16/km at Run The Wharf in London. She finished 201st in the female 1825 category and was part of a 5,624-runner field. Her pacing was steady early: 6:11, 6:08, then 6:52 through 3 km, before settling back to 6:20 and closing with her quickest kilometre at 5:51. From a coaching view, the strongest stat was the final kilometre, which was 25 seconds faster than her overall average pace and 1:01 faster than kilometre 3. That finishing speed shows good reserve late in the race. The main opportunity is to smooth out the middle section, as the gap between fastest and slowest full kilometres was 1:01. On a fast evening 5K through Canary Wharf, that late acceleration was a useful sign of strength.
