This chart shows the time for each of the eight 1 km runs, run 1 on the left: the typical finisher (solid line) and the fastest 25% (dashed).The typical finisher slowed clearly from run 2 to run 7; the quickest was the first run (4:05) and the slowest the last run (6:35).The fastest 25% were quicker on every run, by most on run 7 (1:17 faster).

Run 1 reads short here (4:05 against about 6:01 for runs 2 to 7), because of where the timing mats sit, so the fair pacing test is run 2 against run 7. The typical finisher ran run 7 8% slower than run 2; the fastest 25%, 8% slower.
