Date: Sept. 3, 2026 Participant: Alex M #6399 Race: 2026 Run The Wharf 5K

Fast Opening 2K Set Up a Solid 5K Alex ran 5.0 km in 27:50, averaging 5:34/km. He placed 1,969th of 5,624 overall, putting him ahead of roughly 65% of the field. His first 2 km were his strongest, covered in 10:24 at 5:12/km, and he reached 3 km in 16:07. The pacing trend was clear: 5:09, 5:16, 5:43, 5:49, and 5:56 per km. That gave him a 47-second positive split from km 1 to km 5. The early speed shows good top-end pace for this distance, especially in a fast evening 5K setting through Canary Wharf. For the next race, aiming to hold closer to 5:205:30/km through the middle kilometres could help him finish stronger and lower the overall time.
