Back in the sub 18min 5k club

It’s been a long time since I have run a sub-18 minute 5k. I have been working very hard over this summer, banging out the miles in pretty hot conditions. Tonight I managed a 17:56. Very happy with that, it was warm (28C) and very humid (near 100%). So, looking forward to the few races ahead, especially as things should gradually start to cool down from now. 1km split pace consistency is also a good indicator of my condition.
