Pacing Analysis & Consistency
Two runners – Paul & Mark – produced sub-1.00 pacing performances.

The table below shows split times and average pace per km for each section of the race. The Pacing Consistency rating is designed to give runners an idea of how well they have balanced their efforts across the whole race. Ratings below 1.00 indicate excellent pacing, and the lower the number, the better, in general, for optimal performance in aerobic running events like the 5km.

PPAC-147 5km Road Race [4 May 2025]

We love to see athletes pushing boundaries and attempting challenging goals, so there is never any shame in falling short of a target.
