Going to run a 5k in Sept or Oct. The heat really took it outta me today after taking a week and a half break. Would I beat anyone, anyone at all in a 39 to 49 year old division in a 5k? Dont want to totally embarrass myself. Would prefer to be able to run the entire 3.1 miles first before I join. I can only run about 2.5 right now.

If you had to choose either cardio or weight training then weight training would actually be better for longevity.
