I just had to remind myself on the start-line it was one 5k and not ten x 5k.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018I was in the lead group early on and then just felt I was as well forcing it more. There were some guys there with faster finishes than me so the tactic was to try and have the insurance of a lead.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018I\u2019m enjoying myself in my running at the moment.
