I did my first ever 5k race over the wekeend - the Hitchin Town Centre 5k. Sub-20 for only the 2nd time and a few seconds off a PB which is pretty reassurring seeing as I don't feel like I've been training anywhere as near as hard as when I set my PB. I think I just need to get used to being properly uncomfortable* for more than just the final sprint. And train a bit more too.
*as opposed to the normal level of discomfort that comes from runnning a fast but sustainable (for 3 miles) pace
