Re:The 5K, Not the Marathon, Is the Ideal Race by franciscojgo on Monday April 15, 2019 @11:55AM (#19666205)
They are all good and all will help improve each other's time. I have only done 5Ks but I have been increasing mileage and plan to run a half for the first time. I run almost half marathon distance (8-10 miles) just to train for my 5K pace.

I am sure if I stay hooked on the sport I will eventually do a full one and 5ks will seem boring. Hell, a 18-22 min 5k workout can get really boring quick.
