Date: Sept. 3, 2026 Participant: Mesut Kizilhisar #7824 Race: 2026 Run The Wharf 5K

Quick Start, Then Pace Drop After 3km He finished this 5K in 25:26, averaging 5:05/km, and placed in the top 25% overall (1381st of 5624). His opening 3km was solid: 4:47, 5:01, and 5:10, reaching 3km in 14:56 at 4:58/km. That early pace put him well ahead of his final average and showed good speed through the first half. The key stat is the change after 3km: the 4th kilometre was 9:35, which drove most of the slowdown before a short closing segment. For coaching focus, the biggest gain would come from holding a steadier effort from 3km onward. On a fast evening 5K like Run The Wharf through Canary Wharf, maintaining that first-3km rhythm longer would likely bring his overall time down noticeably.
