Struggling to My First Official 5K Medal 🏅 | A Milestone I'll Never Forget

Today I completed my very first official 5K race, and crossing that finish line felt incredible. It wasn't my fastest run, but it was my first time earning a finisher's medal, which makes it unforgettable. A few weeks ago, even running 5K felt like a huge challenge, but staying consistent and showing up every day made this possible. Holding this medal reminds me that progress isn't about being the fastest—it's about refusing to quit. This is just the beginning of my running journey, and now I'm motivated to improve my pace, run more races, and maybe even complete my first 10K official event. Any tips for getting faster or race-day advice from experienced runners would be greatly appreciated! 🏃‍♂️🏅

Need advice to improve my 5K time – today's training run

I went for a morning run today and managed 3.35 km in 23:41 at an average pace of 7:04/km. My goal is to build up to a faster 5K, and I'm trying to stay consistent with my training. I'd really appreciate any advice from experienced runners on what helped you improve when you were starting out. Should I focus more on increasing my distance first, improving my pace, or a combination of both? I'm open to any tips, training suggestions, or mistakes I should avoid. Thanks in advance!

Running my first 5K tomorrow — Any last-minute tips to finish as fast as possible?

Tomorrow is my first official 5K run, and I'd really like to finish with the best time I can. I've been training, but I'm still unsure about the best race strategy.

Should I start fast or keep a steady pace? How do you avoid burning out halfway through? Any tips on breathing, pacing, warm-up, hydration, or mental tricks that helped you run a faster 5K?

I'd love to hear advice from experienced runners. If you could go back and give yourself one tip before your first 5K, what would it be?

Thanks in advance!

Market closed early with my gold trade still open

Gold market closed before I could manually close my trade. I'm on a FundingPips 2-Step Pro account, currently around +$48 with my stop-loss moved to breakeven and TP still active. Now I have to wait for the market to reopen. Anyone else ever get stuck holding a trade over the weekend like this? How often do you see weekend gaps on XAUUSD?
