Date: Sept. 3, 2026 Participant: Andrey Kuzminov #1640 Race: 2026 Run The Wharf 5K

Fast Opening Kilometre Set Up a Solid 5K Andrey ran 5.00km in 27:07, averaging 5:25/km at Run The Wharf. He placed 158th in the M36-40 division and finished ahead of a large share of the 5,624-runner field. His quickest kilometre was the first in 4:54, giving him a strong start on a closed-road evening 5K built for quick running through Canary Wharf. The pacing trend was 4:54, 5:12, 5:36, 5:45 and 5:42 per km. That shows a clear positive split, with a 48-second difference between the first and final full kilometre. A useful next step is to aim for a steadier middle section, especially across kilometres 2 to 4, to hold closer to the early pace for longer. The fast first kilometre is a strong marker of speed; improving pace control could bring the overall time down further.
