Date: Sept. 3, 2026 Participant: Josh Lom #5979 Race: 2026 Run The Wharf 5K

Quick Opening 2K, Then Pace Drift Over the Final 3K Josh covered 5.00 km in 31:38, averaging 6:19/km. His strongest section came early: 2 km reached in 11:40 at 5:50/km, and he had moved up to 2,217th overall at that point. He finished 216th in the male 3640 division, with 5,624 participants in the event. The key stat is the contrast between the first 2 km and final 3 km. After holding 5:50/km through 2 km, the remaining 3 km averaged about 6:39/km, with each kilometre from 35 km slower than 6:35/km. That suggests the main opportunity is extending early-race pace deeper into the run. On a closed-road evening 5K through Canary Wharf, that opening speed was solid; building steadier pacing across the full distance would likely bring the overall time down.
