Date: Sept. 3, 2026 Participant: James Reeder #5145 Race: 2026 Run The Wharf 5K

Consistent 3:01/km pacing with a strong closing kilometre James ran 5.00 km in 15:09, averaging 3:01/km. He placed 16th overall out of 5,624, 15th in the Male Elite field, and 5th in Male Elite 2630. His pacing was notably steady: 3:01, 3:01, 3:02, 3:08, then 2:59 for the final kilometre. That closing split was his fastest of the race and moved him from 6th to 5th in his division. This was a disciplined effort on a fast evening 5K through Canary Wharf. The key stat stands out: four of five kilometres were between 2:59/km and 3:02/km. The only softer section came in kilometre 4 at 3:08/km, but he responded well immediately. From a coaching perspective, holding kilometre 4 closer to early-race pace could trim a few more seconds next time.
