Had a 5k race today. Wasn't too sure how I was feeling going into it. Had a few weeks off with illness and then holiday. Beforehand said I was happy with sub 21 but still optimistically wanting sub 20. In the end got 20:42. Splits were 3:56 3:57 4:09 4:12 4:15 14. I fell away quite badly! Still happy with sub 21 though even pacing would have been much more enjoyable! |

So I've still not cracked 20mins. I had a 5k race last Saturday and I thought it would be the day that I finally did it. But I was off the pace from the start and nothing to give when I tried to push. Might give a crack at a parkrun but I'm not targeting it as such. I'm feeling good at the moment, training is good, so I know it will happen at some point!

That’s a shame peanut. The problem with 5k is that if you’re not on it from the start it’s hard to make it up. If trainings going well and your enjoying your running then it will happen maybe at parkrun if you have taken the pressure of yourself.
