I just finished a 5.064km running that lasted about 0hh:25mm:2ss !
I hit a performance wall at running some time ago that I don't show any substantial progress. Since I started running, I didn't follow any training plan because I was just getting out and seeing progress every week.
But... I hit my running plateau around paces 05:15 - 05:30 that I started following a 5k training program to finish 5k w/ 04:54 pace. I'm at week 6/12 at the moment, and I tried running 04:54 since I was feeling very strong.
I've started very fast and strong but then I needed to slow down at the third kilometer because I was simply not ready - however I tried to keep up and did my best, at the end I ran the 5k with a 04:59 pace. That's a great milestone for me to see 04:** in the pace. Now, I have 6 more weeks to make it 04:54, maybe even better. :)
