Thanks very much for the personal advice. I still don't really know what I'm doing, so any tips on slowing down / building up speed and so on are welcome. I'll aim for 5:10 next time around, my best average paces so far are 5:17/km for a 10k run, and 4:20/km for a 5k.
Practising pacing should definitely help with the 10k time then.
If you do 21mins for a 5k and 52mins for a 10k then I'd think you'll find a lot of time with some regular running.
