Last sunday at running lab run I missed sub 40 by 40s, definitely can relate to starting out too fast. When I hit pb for 5km while doing 10km haha. I think balanced should be good. All the best
Your one is just like any other road race but i think running lab shd not be too crowded, you started really in front so you managed to start out too fast?
With a known running track like 800m or stadium track, much easier to track pace in terms of time duration.
Basically is 90 seconds or below every 400m if you wanna aim 18:45 and below for 5k and 96 seconds for 10k. In between can rely on GPS as rough guide. Can negative split swee swee also, i tried before....that's why the timings splits i posted like quite nice, km splits within a few seconds diff.
Then the more you try like i mentioned before, the experience factor, the better you get.
So just go DIY a bit more, even if cannot hit you can treat it as a workout.
The other polar extreme is once a year race...... Like T100, difficult to pace esp for amateurs like me with no real life experiences. Some cycling clubs really race (Malaysia, Thailand etc) heckloads one.
