Dude, do some squats and eat like 4 bowls of oatz pre race. ... But really, wear a skullcap my ears kill me during these cold months. Blah blah pace your self, you'll do fine as long as you're comfortable running for 5k.

Don't pace yourself. It's only a 5k. run fast your first mile, faster the second and your third should feel as if you're gonna faint as soon as you cross the finish line. Don't flap your arms around, do some strides before the race and Good luck.

Agreed. Running a negative split (the second mile faster than the first, the third mile faster than the second) keeps you from slowing down.

If you can run a 5k in 24 minutes you do not need to be on the internet asking for advice tips.

sup /fit/ OP here

I ran my first today and I ran it in 21:01 today. The crazy thing is though at the end, I knew I could have really run harder and faster, but the finish line just came so quick, so I just kind of went all out for the last 400m or so. but I hope to do better next time =)

Same shit happens to me during runs. I'm too much of a pussy to pick up the pace early on because I'm afraid of gassing out before I finish. By the time I finish I have loads more energy I could have used.
