What a 19:00 5K predicts
Estimate| Distance | Estimated time |

These are estimates from the Riegel formula, T2 = T1 × (D2 ÷ D1)^1.06. They assume you’ve trained for the other distance, so treat them as a guide, not a promise.
Sub-20 is won in kilometres 2 to 4
Most runners who miss sub-20 lose the time in the middle, when the start buzz has faded and the finish isn’t close yet. Have a cue for those minutes: the pace on your watch, or the runner in front.
Repeats of 400 m to 1 km at goal pace and a weekly tempo run are the usual building blocks.
Warm up with easy running and a few strides, so the first kilometre isn’t a shock.
