Finding the right pace is tricky. I started off overly cautious on my parkruns (only done 5 so far) and so my times are coming down nicely. Hoping for a 25:30 tomorrow (although I should be aiming for sub 25 as I've gone that fast on a 6k run a few weeks ago) but this will probably be the run where I push to hard too early and blow up[1].

I'm about to start running after injuring my thumb to the degree that i can't do any other activity, no cycling allowed because I can't hold handlebars as the brace restricts all movement.
I signed up for a park run and im looking for pointers. Im pretty fit, I play hockey twice a week and 5-a-side once a week and cycle my short commute with at least one or two lengthier cycles a month. I reckon a 25 minute 5k should be my target for tomorrow because i have no idea how fast/slow i'll be. Any advice?
