Date: Sept. 3, 2026 Participant: Brenda Rodriguez #3522 Race: 2026 Run The Wharf 5K

Strong negative split with a fast final kilometre Brenda covered 5.00 km in 32:22, averaging 6:28/km. She finished 2910th of 5624 overall, 1140th among women, and 241st in the female 3135 category. In a big evening 5K through Canary Wharf, that placed her around the top half of the field overall. Her pacing improved each kilometre: 7:27, 7:21, 6:09, 6:07, then 5:21. That is a 2:06 improvement from first to last kilometre, with the final 3 km averaging about 5:52/km. She also moved up steadily through the race, gaining 789 places overall from 1 km to the finish. As a coachs note, the closing speed stands out; with a slightly quicker opening 2 km, she could turn that strong finish into a lower overall time.
