Date: Sept. 3, 2026 Participant: Kirsty Dinsmore #1612 Race: 2026 Run The Wharf 5K

Strong finish with steady pacing and a fast closing kilometre Kirsty covered 5.00 km in 28:00, averaging 5:36/km. She placed 617th female out of 5,624 overall finishers, and 202nd in the Female 2630 division. Her pacing was controlled through 4 km: 5:38, 5:45, 5:40, and 5:40 per km, staying within 7 seconds across that stretch. The standout stat was her final kilometre in 5:19/km, 21 seconds quicker than her average pace and her fastest segment of the race. She also moved up well early, improving from 700th female at 1 km to 596th by 34 km. In a fast evening 5K through Canary Wharf, that late push shows good finishing strength. Next step as a coach: aim to bring a little more of that closing speed into the middle kilometres.
