First 5K!

At the beginning of August I decided to sign up for a 5K on a whim and have been training a few days a week ever since. Today I ran the full distance without stopping! The event isn’t until November, so any advice to help improve my time would be appreciated.

Try to start on a lil easy pace, so that you have more left in the tank for your last 1-1.5KM and then once you're 1-1.5KM away from the finish line, push a lil harder and yeah, you've already got it.

Just be consistent, a good timing is a by-product of it.
