Date: Sept. 3, 2026 Participant: Johnathan Macdonald #3188 Race: 2026 Run The Wharf 5K

Quick Opening, Then a Gradual Fade to the Finish Johnathan covered 5.00 km in 29:25, averaging 5:53/km. He opened well with 5:36 for the first kilometre, then held 5:41/km through 2 km. That early stretch moved him up to 2038th overall, his best race position. From there, his pace eased to 5:53, 6:16, and 6:00 across the final 3 km. Even with that slowdown, he stayed under 6:00/km overall and finished 257th in the M31-35 division. The clearest coaching takeaway is pacing: the first 2 km were notably quicker than his final average, so a slightly more even effort could help him hold speed deeper into the race. Run The Wharfs closed-road evening 5K through Canary Wharf rewards exactly that kind of controlled start.
