Date: Sept. 3, 2026 Participant: Jay Martin #4182 Race: 2026 Run The Wharf 5K

Strong Start, Steady Middle, Fast Finish for a 22:07 5K Jay ran 5.00 km in 22:07, averaging 4:25/km. She placed 643rd of 5,624 overall, 107th female, and 42nd in the female 1825 division. A notable stat: she finished ahead of every male tracked in her user data. In an event known for its fast evening closed-road format through Canary Wharf, that pace held up well. Her opening kilometre was her quickest at 4:18, followed by two steady middle kilometres at 4:28 and 4:28. The fourth kilometre dipped slightly to 4:35, but she responded well with a 4:20 final kilometre. That rebound late in the race is a strong sign. As a coaching note, smoothing out the fourth kilometre to match the middle section could bring this closer to an even-paced effort.
