    Personally, High octane 1/4 sprint/drag are FAR more fun than NASCAR races

    Race what makes you happy.

    If you aren't having fun racing, I hope you are fast enough to be getting paid to do something that you don't like doing, right?

    So don't worry about what your friends are doing, if you find that the training and running of a 10km (or a longer race) just doesn't work for you, don't do it.

    Personally, 5km races near kill me. I can go hard (for me) for about 4km and then I tank. I can keep a steady pace for 10km with a high level of burn (again, for me), but in reality I'm only happy at the half marathon distance. At that distance I love the training, I enjoy the race and I find that I can push myself to almost the same speed I can for a 10km. It just works for me. Marathons... well, they get boring and my body falls apart at about 32km, but I'm getting there.

    Hats off to you for being able to push through the pain of going hard for 5km, that's tough!

    Enjoy yourself, run what works for you and have fun.

    I had to come over just to see what the fuss is all about! I'm glad it was just 5k vs. 10k. You scared me for a second! :laugh:
    Smiles burn calories, don't they... I know laughing does. So thanks!
