So I had planned to run my first hm today but legs were feeling sore and I was not sure if I'd be able to complete. I went but started too fast and felt like stopping at 2.5k (HR 188bpm, maybe because of the strong coffee i had) then I noticed my pace was 4:55 so I thought why not try sub 25 5k(previous PB 27:56) and leave hm for next week.

New 5K PB 24:38.

It feels like a big achievement to join the sub 25 club. But I really want to complete HM this month but not able to cross 15k 🫠. Should I run slower than 6'30/km? I can't think of what to think while running so long I end up stopping.
