Hey runners! Here is your irregularly scheduled check-in. How have you been these past few weeks? Any races run? Any great or small accomplishments? Questions for the group?
I think it depends on which distance you like to run more and how non-worried you are about placing towards the back of the pack:
I'm a slow runner who prefer to run longer distances, even though my training doesn't really hold up to it - but a 5K, even a 10K, if I have a longer option now, is just over too soon! It may be more impressive to run a fast 5K than an endlessly slow 15K, but I like the running for a longer time and the challenges that brings.
And I'm never going to run a fast 5K, anyways :D
(When this ½-marathon idiocy thing is over, I do plan to running local 5Ks again, not least to see if my training pays off on that distance, too!)
