YoungParisian_inExile you've got to break it into quarters.
Find rhythm first 5k. Get the fear out of your feet.
Next 5k is settling down.
Next 5k is zen like - breathing and moving.
Last 5k you wish you could hold the mental state from before but you l know you are getting close. And you starting feeling your legs all of a sudden.
Last 500m - start speeding up looking like its a breeze for the cameras.
