Sep 2007 2:56pm, 13 Sep 2007 6 posts	Quote Pin Did my first 5k race last weekend (The rather hilly London Peace Run in Greenwich Park) and clocked 22.50 which i was quite proud of, still deciding whether i prefer 5k's to 10ks at the moment but i like being able to push pretty hard for the entire race as opposed to forcing myself to slow down at the start for the 10k. Speed felt good and was only really the big hills that caused me problems, i definately think on a flat course i could shave off a good minute at least, and maybe save a bit more by starting nearer the start line next time. Any specific tips for speedwork to do in training?
