Sub20 5K is a good goal to have, just be careful not to do to much to soon and get injured.
I too hope to break sub20 this year. My only Sub20 (19;56) was in 1999 before GPS etc. Since then my PB for 5K is 21:46 (4:21 pace) set in 2017 at the Durban beach front park run. However I do believe I'm faster than this now. Last month I did a 7.7K XC race in new shoes (Newbie mistake thanks to the snow preventing me to wear them in) which created blisters on both heals after 1.3k, anyways, during this I did a 5k section in 22:34 (4:31 pace) where my avg pace for the event was 4:32.
Goals for 2025:
Sub20 5K
Sub1:40 HM 09/03
1Hr off last years training races along the way to A race
Sub24Hr KK100 / Karkloof 100mile 19/09
minimum 3000km with 50 000m Vert
Best of luck to all for your goals. I'll leave this thought that was given to me when I was battling to get going last year. "Motivation is a myth, it only ever follows action!"
