Date: Sept. 3, 2026 Participant: Ryan Purchase #1821 Race: 2026 Run The Wharf 5K

Strong Finish and Consistent 5K Pacing Ryan covered 5.00 km in 27:21, averaging 5:28/km at Run The Wharf in Canary Wharf. In a field of 5,624, he finished 1,849th overall and 325th in the male 2630 division. His pacing was steady across all 5 kilometres: 5:20, 5:34, 5:37, 5:30, and 5:23. The standout stat was his closing kilometre, the fastest of the race at 5:23/km after a controlled middle section. He also improved position by halfway through 4 km before a small drop late, suggesting a solid effort with good late-race strength. As a coachs note, trimming the slight slowdown in kilometres 2 and 3 could bring his average pace closer to his opening and closing levels. This evening closed-road 5K is built for rhythm, and he found a fairly even one.
