Hi everyone,

What is your 5k and 10k personal bests? I have done a 10k in under 49 minutes before and a 5k in under 22 minutes. Not sure what my exact times are as I have never done a proper event but will hopefully do one in the next few months. Let me know what yours are.

    I'd suggest you work on your stamina then. Your 10k PB shouldn't be much more than double your 5k PB. Mine is within about 1 min of double my 5k time.
    For 5k's just pop along to your local parkrun to give you an idea of your times also may help drag you along to a quicker time. (Although do take it easy if you have to lap people).

    As for times my 10k time is well over 10 mins quicker than yours if that helps.

    Yeah I haven't done too many 10k runs recently but I am going to do one soon as hopefully get it down. The 10k PB I did was a few years ago so I reckon I could get it down quite a bit.

    Good effort, I am with you. I don't start working properly until about 10 miles! Every race I have done over marathon distance I have been in the top 10 :rotfl::rotfl: more because the fields don't have the same fast people who do the shorter stuff

    Yeah I feel like I've no rhythm until 8-10 miles and then it kicks in and congrats on the top 10 finishes, that's impressive
