I'm wondering if I should try the 10k next track season, or stick with the 5k, which I trained for for the first time this year. Yeah I know I'm not even mediocre, but I'm just trying to figure out what I should focus on to get better
Prs-these are all from this year, off 5k training.
~57, 2:06, 4:32 (mile), 15:23.
I think you definitely should try a 10K. I can beat your PR on 400 and 800 easily and fairly close with your mile PR, but I am only running 16'42" for 5K. So, you got much more endurance than speed. Moving up to 10K, even half or marathon should be the right strategy - unless you are under 18, then, you should focus on speed development, big time.
You could do both? They're pretty close to each other, and it's tough to race the 10k often anyway. Run the 1500 at least once, do a 3k or two, race the 5k 2-3 times, and get in a quality 10k or two. Should be a busy season for you.

Do the 10K as your peak race...
Thanks for the advice. Usually our 10k guys train in a separate group, so I'd have to choose which one to focus on. At one point when I was doing 1k repeats last year, they were doing 3-2-1 mile etc.
Train in that 10k group for sure. only run 2 of them, mainly race shorter stuff tho
