So my 5k pr is 16:23 but usually I get 16:35 on average. This is on a course with about 6-7 decent hills. Anyway, I was wondering if this will have any effect on my training if I run with high 17 and low 18 guys because that's the rest of Varsity. Yeah, I know my team isn't great but whatever. They run their training runs about 7:30 pace and this is pretty slow for me. When I run alone I do about 6:40 and that feels pretty comfortable. Will this hinder my race times? Am I not training to full potential?
