Date: Sept. 3, 2026 Participant: Mel Schein #1677 Race: 2026 Run The Wharf 5K

Quick Opening Kilometre Set Up a Solid 5K Mel ran 5.00 km in 32:02, averaging 6:24/km. She placed 2,848 of 5,624 overall, 1,103 among women, and 340 in the female 2630 division. Her fastest kilometre was the first in 5:32, and she reached 2 km in 11:46 and 3 km in 18:22. The pacing trend was clear: 5:32, 6:14, 6:37, 7:01, then a slight recovery to 6:41 in the final kilometre. That opening kilometre showed strong speed for this result, and the late pickup was a positive sign. As a coaching point, aiming for a more even effort across the middle 3 km could help bring the average pace down next time. Run The Wharfs evening 5K through Canary Wharf suited a fast start, and she gave herself one.
