I find the best way to run a 5K is to go out fast and try and hold on to it, you'd be surprised how long you can hold it for.
I am doing a 10 km run this Saturday, would you recommend a similar approach? I am thinking I might be able to hold on to 4:45 / km pace for most of ten km but would drop off towards the end, and if I'd made time in the early parts of the run, then I could still do it under 50 minutes.
Absolutely achievable. Congrats on the time! I find the best way to run a 5K is to go out fast and try and hold on to it, you'd be surprised how long you can hold it for.
