One of the biggest mistakes we see before a 5K?
Starting too fast.
It’s easy to get caught up in the energy at the beginning — but going out too hard can leave you feeling exhausted halfway through.
Try this instead:
✔️Start slower than you think you need to
✔️Find a pace where you can breathe and stay relaxed
✔️Build your effort gradually as you go
The goal isn’t to sprint from the start — it’s to feel strong at the finish 💪
If you’re newer to running, even a run/walk approach is a great strategy.
