Hi,
So, I did it. First 5k race in the bag. 25.53.
Some of you may have read I was aiming for sub 30mins so extremely pleased with the result!
I felt I paced myself quite well in the race but would like to know opinions on same.
My splits are below, first 4k were quite consistent, final k much faster. I finished strong but definately couldnt have gone further. I guess this is good?
I just wonder should I have started quicker, finished a bit slower etc? Is there an accepted best tactic?
Splits (1k)
