Date: Sept. 3, 2026 Participant: Jack Nightingale #170 Race: 2026 Run The Wharf 5K

Strong negative split with a fast final kilometre Jack ran 5.0km in 26:01, averaging 5:12/km. He finished 1512th of 5624, placing in the top 27% overall, and was 963rd male. His pacing improved across the race: 5:23, 5:18, 5:19, 5:06, then 4:57 for the final kilometre. That closed the race with a 26-second gain from first to last kilometre. The standout stat is the finish: sub-5:00/km in the last kilometre after already lifting pace at 4km. He also moved up steadily through the field, from 1807th at 1km to 1512th at the finish. In a fast evening 5K through Canary Wharf, that progression suggests good control early and strong closing speed. As a coaching note, aiming to bring the 5:064:57 pace on a little earlier could lower the overall time further.
