What training is also necessary?
Around 3:25.
No special training. Whatever you're doing is good enough.
Yeah thanks
Would 10k or half marathon training be better for 15k?
According to VDOT, based on your 5k time of 5:06 per mile pace, you should go out at 5:22 for your 10 mile pace. So you should complete the race in about 53:49 - 54:00 mins.
Hydration?
WATER.
You're not running a marathon, and even if you were, WATER. It's still the best source of hydration in my book.
Tactics? Always negative split, or run an even pace. So you could go out at about 5: 30 pace , gradually getting faster as the race progresses, and get to running your 5k pace for the last 1-3 miles.
