Date: Sept. 3, 2026 Participant: Beatrice Fitzmaurice #1618 Race: 2026 Run The Wharf 5K

Fast Opening Kilometre Set Up a Solid 5K Beatrice ran 5.00 km in 26:01, averaging 5:12/km. Her quickest kilometre was the first in 4:56, and she reached 2 km in 10:05 before settling into a steady mid-race rhythm. She finished 1,514th of 5,624 overall, placing in the top 27% of the field, and 396th female. The pacing profile shows a strong start followed by consistent splits: 4:56, 5:10, 5:16, 5:21, 5:21 per km. That opening speed gave her good early position, with places improving slightly through 2 km. As a coachs note, the next step is to bring kilometres 35 closer to the early pace; even slightly narrower pacing could reduce overall time. In a fast evening 5K through Canary Wharf, this was a well-structured effort.
