Date: Sept. 3, 2026 Participant: Olivia Culley #2363 Race: 2026 Run The Wharf 5K

Steady 5K with a strong mid-race reset Olivia ran 5.00 km in 34:17, averaging 6:51/km. Her opening 2 km were her quickest sustained section at 13:19 total, averaging 6:40/km, before a slower 3rd km at 7:34. She responded well over the final 2 km, covering them in 13:26 at 6:43/km average, nearly matching her early pace. Her kilometre splits were 6:41, 6:39, 7:34, 6:42, and 6:44. That rebound after 3 km is the key stat: she cut 52 seconds from the next kilometre and then held form to the finish. In a fast evening 5K built for rhythm through Canary Wharf, that reset stands out. For the next race, the main opportunity is keeping km 3 closer to the pace of the other four kilometres.
