Date: Sept. 3, 2026 Participant: Dan Hooper #1767 Race: 2026 Run The Wharf 5K

Fast Opening, Solid Sub-25km Rhythm Dan covered 5.00 km in 24:21, averaging 4:52/km. He finished 1,134th of 5,624, placing in the top 20% overall, and 140th in the male 3135 category. His quickest kilometre was km 2 in 4:41, helping him move from 1,110th at 1 km up to 1,005th by 2 km. The pacing profile was strong early: 4:47, 4:41, then 5:00, 4:55 and 4:59 per km. That gave him a 9:27 first 2 km versus 14:54 for the final 3 km. The main coaching point is to hold a little more of that early speed through km 35, where pace drifted by 14 seconds per km from his fastest split. In a fast evening 5K like this, that steadier middle section could trim meaningful time.
