Date: Sept. 3, 2026 Participant: Zeynep Sahin-Lodge #2017 Race: 2026 Run The Wharf 5K

Fast Middle Kilometre Set Up a Solid 5K Finish Zeynep ran 5.00 km in 30:29, averaging 6:05/km at Run The Wharf in London. She finished 2,557th of 5,624 overall, placing 920th among women and 201st in the female 3135 category. Her quickest kilometre was km 2 in 4:45, a strong early move that brought her through 2 km in 11:38. Her pacing then settled at 6:17, 6:40 and 5:56 for the final 3 km, with a good closing kilometre to finish under 31 minutes. The spread between fastest and slowest kilometres was 1:55, so the main coaching note is to aim for a steadier rhythm after that fast second kilometre. In an evening 5K known for its quick closed-road route through Canary Wharf, that late pickup was a positive sign.
