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.

I am about as fast as you and in a similar postion in terms of just startign training to go faster in 5km and 10km. (5k - 21.45 / 10k - 48.30)

I find that method doesnt work for 10km and if you are trying to break 10km i would go out at 4.55 and then push after 5km / 8km depending on how you feel
