Edinburgh 10km

On a whim about 6 months ago (when I was up during a night feed with my baby…!) I signed up to the Edinburgh Marathon Festival 10km.

At peak fitness (5 years ago, haha!) I ran 5km everyday but have been seriously lacking the last few years with pregnancy / baby etc.

Not yet running a full 5km without stopping.

Any recommendations?! Should I give in and sign up for 5km?! Will people think it odd if I do intervals during the 10km? Anyone on here done it and have hints at how to mange the hill at the start?!

5km I’m confident I could do it, so I thought I’d push myself more to the 10km but now kind of regretting it 😵‍💫🙈
