Date: Sept. 3, 2026 Participant: Nicola Li #3184 Race: 2026 Run The Wharf 5K

Fast Opening Kilometre Set Up a Steady 5K Nicola Li completed the 5K in 37:04, averaging 7:24/km across 5.00 km. Her quickest kilometre was the first in 6:53, followed by 7:10/km through 2 km. She reached 3 km in 21:52 and finished with a final kilometre of 7:21, slightly quicker than kilometres 3 and 4 (7:50 and 7:52). In a field of 5,624, she placed 188th in the Female 3640 category. This was a solidly paced run with a strong start and a good lift late on after the middle section eased. As a coachs note, the main opportunity is to hold closer to that early 2 km rhythm deeper into the race. On a fast evening 5K like Run The Wharf through Canary Wharf, finishing with a quicker last full kilometre is a useful positive to build from.
