Date: Sept. 3, 2026 Participant: Tom Power #2002 Race: 2026 Run The Wharf 5K

Fast Finish and Steady 5K Execution Tom ran 5.00 km in 27:25, averaging 5:29/km. He placed 70th in the M46-50 division and finished ahead of a large portion of the 5,624-runner field. His pacing was consistent across the race: 5:38, 5:21, 5:38, 5:39, then a strongest final kilometre of 5:12. From a coaching view, the standout stat is the close: final kilometre 17 seconds quicker than his average pace and 26 seconds quicker than km 4. That late acceleration suggests good control early and enough reserve to finish well. If he wants to lower this time further, the clearest opportunity is to bring km 3-4 closer to his km 2 pace while keeping that strong last kilometre. Run The Wharfs closed-road Canary Wharf setting suited a sharp finishing effort.
