A group actually helps you be better, and even when you encounter difficulties, you face them together. They can cheer you on and inspire you to run faster and have fun, make it look like fun. So I’d say group 🙂
I think you should not wait until the pain is irresistible, but whenever it starts. It should be any kind of pain that you know you shouldn’t be feeling.
Totally agree. Don’t burn your body all at once. Take breaks also, and commit to training like you never have before, each time you do do your best until you run the whole 5k:)
