      I have 14 seconds to knock off to get a sub 20 (19:59) and non-runners always tell me how it'll be 'easy' lol.

      ​​@@kellysmithermanit's much more easy to shave 15 seconds of a 20 minute 5K PB versus 15 seconds of a 15 minute 5K PB. It shouldn't be that hard to progress and push to sub 19 and on. Difference in speed needed for 5K in 20 minutes versus 15 seconds faster is 0.19 km/h and for 15 minutes versus 15 less is 0.34 km/h. So more speed is needed and more difficult to go faster when you are already going fast (air resistance, physical limitations, and so on). So it depends on how fast your PB is how difficult it is to shave of 15 seconds. You can do it! 💪

      @@user26912 definitely true. Unfortunately I pushed myself to the extreme however and now I am injured massively. Can barely walk, so my 5K track race in a couple of weeks where I was going to give it everything for the sub 20 is no longer happening. Turns out, I'm not a machine. CRYING. Hope to be back asap but that sub 20 will be even more difficult. thank you though :D

    So not only did you get a new 5k pr, (even if it's just 1 second, it's still a pr man!), but you also won that hot chocolate as well :D 10:25 let's goo Ben! I ran a 2 mile time trial last week and ran a 12:37 which is 58 seconds behind my fastest ever 2 mile time (11:39) but to be fair, I haven't ran fast in a while and took a 2 week break before that as well, so I'm really looking forward to seeing what I can do after I do some months of training in XC and in the summer! Really wanting to break 11 minutes this year, break 18 minutes in the 5k, and of course the infamus (is that how you spell it Ben? Infamus?) sub 5 minute mile! Love that grind Ben!

    Every race should be run without paying too much attention to a watch - especially if it's a short race like a 5K. A race is a race not a time trial, how fast you run is only part of the picture - the aim has to be to win the race (or at least beat as many people as possible) or die trying. Obviously you can't actually run that hard but that has to be the aim. Congrats on the PB. The 10K was just one of those runs - but not too unexpected as it was your first "short" race in quite a while.

    Cycling is strict on people holding their line in sprint finishes, and while the same speeds and risks aren't replicated in running, being spiked, elbowed, or face-planting a sprint finish aren't much fun. It seems to be happening more frequently, and every incident is another too many. It needs to be stopped before someone loses their teeth in a road race.
