So important to know your 5k pace and stick to that at the start. The temptation is to go off too fast and try to catch people up quickly, don’t. Keep it consistent, trust your pacing and then in that final km you’ll start to catch those that have made that mistake.
If you go past me before the turnaround point your training might be getting much tougher next week 😂 On a serious note, races are a great for training, so if for whatever reason you’re not having a good race, just keep working hard, cos you’ll benefit from that later in the training. I had an absolute shocker at Seaford. Lost my shit mentally, but I kept trying and 3 weeks later at the 5 miler ran arguably my best ever race. Good luck Joe. At least I don’t have to spent the whole 5km staring at your arse this time.
