Скачать или смотреть New Haven 5K - Nailing my Sub 22 Minute Goal!

The spot of my first ever road race 14 years ago and the start of my adult onset running journey…New Haven 5k on Labor Day!

I have not run this 5K race in 5 years and haven’t raced a 5K since the spring of 2024.

Excited to hit my goal of sub 22 minutes and test the fitness before Philly marathon training really ramps up.

The numbers are nice but I am most proud of pushing through the discomfort of living on the edge that occurs with 5K racing. Leaning into the discomfort and not letting up.

Proud of not only keeping goal pace of 6:55 but getting a little bit of a negative split that last mile and hitting the fastest split to close which I (mentally wasn’t feeling like I could do it at the time).

5K racing is hard but it callouses the mind and helps improve your mental strength for half marathon and marathon racing.

Do you plan on testing your marathon fitness with a 5k race this fall?
