In such a short race, you lose a lot of time in the first couple of minutes with people who start at a 10 min/m pace and decide that they should be up front. Also, try running toward the side of the roads to loop around people.Road Warriorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06185561385105959496noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37373654.post-14458691607002657142009-03-14T08:50:00.000-04:002009-03-14T08:50:00.000-04:00To PR in the 5K; good warm-up-be sweating right at...To PR in the 5K; good warm-up-be sweating right at gun time, having done a couple of bursts of 5K pace.<BR/> Go out fast, hold on, finish strong.
