Date: Sept. 3, 2026 Participant: Adam Mehja #3849 Race: 2026 Run The Wharf 5K

Quick Opening, Then Pace Drift Over 5K Adam completed the 5K in 30:22, averaging 6:04/km. His opening kilometre was his quickest at 5:27/km, followed by 5:56/km through 2km and 6:27/km through 3km. In a field of 5,624, he finished 2,527th overall and 268th in the male 3135 division. The strongest stat here is the sharp start: 5:27 for the first kilometre put him well ahead of his eventual average pace. After 2km, the pace trend moved steadily slower, so the main coaching takeaway is to aim for a more even effort across the first 3km. On a fast evening 5K through Canary Wharf, that kind of pacing adjustment could help him hold speed deeper into the race.
