Date: Sept. 3, 2026 Participant: Zoe Long #2641 Race: 2026 Run The Wharf 5K

Fast Start, Then Steady 5K Execution Zoe Long covered 5.00 km in 22:50, averaging 4:34/km. She placed 150th female out of a field of 5,624 overall participants, with a fastest kilometre of 4:28 and a slowest of 4:41. Her opening 2 km were strong at 9:01 total, and she reached 3 km in 13:42 before holding her overall average through 4 km and to the finish. The pacing pattern was clear: 4:28, 4:34, 4:41, 4:36, 4:33. That mid-race dip was limited, and she responded well with a quicker final kilometre than both km 3 and km 4. In a fast evening 5K through Canary Wharf, that late stabilising is a useful sign. The main coaching note is to aim for a slightly more even middle section, which could help convert that sharp first kilometre into a stronger overall time.
