Date: Sept. 3, 2026 Participant: Ruby Wain #5358 Race: 2026 Run The Wharf 5K

Steady 5K with a strong opening 2km Ruby ran 5.00km in 26:44, averaging 5:20/km. She placed 467th of 5,624 women and 87th in the female 3135 category. Her first 2km were the sharpest part of the race, covered in 5:09 and 5:11, before the pace eased to 5:27/km in the third and 5:38/km in the fourth. She closed the final kilometre in 5:21, quicker than kilometre 4. This was a solid, controlled run on a fast evening 5K through Canary Wharf. The key stat is the rebound late in the race: after the slowest kilometre at 5:38, she regained 17 seconds in the last kilometre. A useful next step would be aiming to hold the early 5:105:11/km rhythm deeper into the middle section, which could bring the overall average closer to her opening pace.
