Date: Sept. 3, 2026 Participant: Michela Tomasoni #6631 Race: 2026 Run The Wharf 5K

Strong negative split with a sub-5:50 middle stretch Michela covered 5.00 km in 29:27, averaging 5:53/km. She placed 2,341st of 5,624 overall, 787th among women, and 163rd in the female 1825 division. In a fast evening 5K through Canary Wharf, her pacing trend stood out more than position. She opened at 6:06/km, then improved through each of the next three kilometres: 6:00, 5:51, and 5:44. That gave her a 12-second positive change from first to fourth kilometre and moved her overall place from 2,685th at 1 km to 2,254th at 4 km. The final kilometre was 5:47/km, only 3 seconds off that fastest stretch. That is a well-controlled effort. Next step: aim to bring the opening kilometre a little closer to overall pace, which could help turn this steady progression into a faster final time.
