Official time was 21:02, watch time on runner behind me when I asked was 20:40 and I smashed him by around 3 seconds. Also ran slightly long as I started from middle of the pack (roughly .05 metres behind startline). Gunning for a real attempt on my 5K PB on 21st April...

SODIron © 2002 Mar 2012 11:35am, 12 Mar 2012 9,973 posts	0 SODIron © 2002 I actually meant around 50 metres behind. I guess that lack of sleep is getting my poor ickle brain confused.
SODIron © 2002 Mar 2012 11:39am, 12 Mar 2012 9,974 posts	0 SODIron © 2002 I really an tired and in need of sleep....I even corrected myself incorrectly. I think an early night is in order....yesterday's 4AM start followed with this morning's 5AM start is causing me some serious thinking issues.. :O\ I need sleep.... ZZZzzz...
SPR Mar 2012 11:41am, 12 Mar 2012 16,180 posts	0 SPR Best technique = even pace with maybe a slightly fast start before settling into pace. It is long distance, not a sprint.
ChrisThePuma Mar 2012 11:48am, 12 Mar 2012 1,246 posts	0 ChrisThePuma Used the start fast and hang on tecnique at the MK park run on saturday. Problem was i was held up a bit for the first 500m so could not start as fast as i was hoping. Ended up with a fairly evenly paced 5k and a seasons best of sub 21: Mile Splits: 6:44 6:49 6:49 35
