Date: Sept. 3, 2026 Participant: Olaolu Akerele #6639 Race: 2026 Run The Wharf 5K

Quick Opening Km, Then Steady to the Finish He completed 5.00 km in 40:55, averaging 8:11/km at Run The Wharf in Canary Wharf. Among 5,624 participants, he placed 150th in the Male 4145 category. His opening kilometre was his quickest at 6:37, then he reached 2 km in 15:13 and 3 km in 24:06. From 3 km onward, the pacing settled: 8:17 for the 4th kilometre and 8:33 for the 5th. That steadier second half after a fast start is a useful pattern to note. As a coachs takeaway, a slightly more even first 2 km could help him hold closer to his early pace deeper into the race. This evening 5K is known for its closed-road city setting and fast-moving atmosphere, making it a solid benchmark effort.
