Date: Sept. 3, 2026 Participant: James Mcmillan #1346 Race: 2026 Run The Wharf 5K

Quick opening kilometre set up a solid top-quarter finish He covered 5.00 km in 26:05, averaging 5:13/km. His fastest kilometre was the first in 4:53, and he reached 2 km in 9:52 at 4:56/km average. He finished 1,542nd of 5,624 overall, placing him in roughly the top 27% of the field, and 79th in the male 4145 category. The pacing pattern was steady but gradually faded after 2 km: 4:53, 5:00, 5:20, 5:27, 5:28 per km. That early speed shows good starting sharpness, especially on a fast evening 5K through Canary Wharf. The main coaching point is to hold the first-half rhythm deeper into the race; keeping kilometres 35 closer to the sub-5:00/km opening pace would lower the overall time well.
