Was unsure whether to try for my fifth 5k this morning or try and run a sub 20 min 3k. After a brisk start I thought I’d go for the 5k. After my second Km I upped the pace as I felt rather good. Coming towards my third km I started to feel tired but kept the pace brisk. When I hit the 3k mark I decided I was bushed so stopped and done some fartleks on my way home. I’ve just checked my time for the 3k and have done two sub 6min kms. Over the moon. Wished I could keep that pace for a full 5k.
