Date: Sept. 3, 2026 Participant: Andrew Digby #3315 Race: 2026 Run The Wharf 5K

Strong negative split with fastest final kilometre Andrew completed the 5K in 32:09, averaging 6:25/km. He placed 52nd in the male 55+ division and finished in the top 51% overall (2872 of 5624). His race built well across the evening closed-road Canary Wharf course, improving from 6:44 in the opening kilometre to 6:05 in the fifth. The clearest positive was pacing: each full kilometre was quicker than the one before, with back-to-back 6:25 kilometres in km 3 and 4 before a strong finish. He moved up notably early on, reaching 50th in his division by 2km, then held close to that position. As a coachs note, the stats suggest that starting a little nearer to his eventual rhythm could bring down the overall time further while still preserving that strong closing speed.
