Date: Sept. 3, 2026 Participant: Ollie Thorpe #6673 Race: 2026 Run The Wharf 5K

Exceptionally Even 5K Pacing from Start to Finish A 27:09 5K at Run The Wharf works out to 5:25/km, with one of the clearest strengths being consistency: each kilometre landed between 5:24 and 5:27. That produced a tightly controlled race profile with no significant fade across the full distance. In a field of 5,624, finishing 1,801st placed him comfortably in the top third overall, and 314th in the male 2630 division. The strongest stretch came early with kilometre 2 in 5:24, improving overall position from 1,898th at 1km to 1,584th at 2km. After that, pace stayed remarkably steady through 3km, 4km and 5km. As a coachs note, this level pacing is a solid platform; the next gain may come from trying to hold this control while pressing slightly harder from 3km onward in future 5Ks.
