Hey everyone, I just completed this 5K and wanted to get some feedback. I’m a beginner runner and still figuring things out. My pace was around 6:20–7:20 min/km and my average heart rate was about 155 bpm.

I felt okay overall, but I’m not sure if I’m pushing too hard or not enough. My goal is to be able to run 11K by the end of May.

Any advice on pacing, training, or how to safely increase my distance? Appreciate any tips!
