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 a little from run 2 to run 7; the quickest was the first run (4:11) and the slowest run 3 (6:24).The fastest 25% were quicker on every run, by most on run 4 (1:39 faster).

Run 1 reads short here (4:11 against about 6:20 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 5% slower than run 2; the fastest 25%, 8% slower.

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 got quicker through the middle runs; the quickest was the first run (4:35) and the slowest run 6 (6:59).The fastest 25% were quicker on every run, by most on run 6 (1:17 faster).

Run 8	6:21	5:24

Run 1 reads short here (4:35 against about 6:29 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 4% faster than run 2; the fastest 25%, 2% slower.
