Date: Sept. 3, 2026 Participant: Alejandro Fernandez #6317 Race: 2026 Run The Wharf 5K

Strong Finish and Well-Controlled Negative Split Alejandro covered 5.00 km in 25:24, averaging 5:04/km. He finished 1369th of 5624 overall, 882nd among men, and 169th in the M3135 division. His pacing was very steady through 4 km, with kilometre splits of 5:04, 5:10, 5:12, and 5:03 before closing with his fastest final kilometre in 4:56. That late acceleration was a clear positive: he moved up from 1536th at 1 km to 1369th at the finish, gaining places consistently across the race. On a fast evening 5K through Canary Wharf, that controlled build shows good judgement. The main coaching point is simple: with such a strong last kilometre, there may be scope to press slightly earlier over the middle kilometres while keeping this composed finish.
