Date: Sept. 3, 2026 Participant: Elesha Palser #3880 Race: 2026 Run The Wharf 5K

Steady 5K with a Strong Closing Kilometre Elesha completed this evening Canary Wharf 5K in 38:44 for an average pace of 7:44/km. She covered the full 5.00 km with a consistent spread across the race: 7:18, 7:55, 7:43, 8:07, and 7:42 per km. In a field of 5,624, she finished 120th in the Female 4145 division. From a coaching perspective, the standout stat is how well she reset after kilometre 4, closing in 7:42/km after the slowest split at 8:07/km. She was also quickest in the opening kilometre at 7:18/km, showing good early speed. The main opportunity is to smooth out the middle section so that kilometres 24 stay closer to her finishing pace; that would make the overall pacing more even and could trim time next run.
