A sub 20 minute 5k sounds like a good goal and will be a nice achievement. Sounds like you know how your body operates. It’s weird how the all-out midfoot run can wreck your calves for 2 weeks but you feel great when running. It must be the adrenaline that prevents you from feeling it. That or it’s some sort of decompression that just builds up. Don’t really know.
But yeah next time you race in an event definitely try and start from the front (1st row if possible). I remember in school we used to have cross country days where we’d compete against other schools. Each school would send 2-3 runners so we’d end up with hundreds of people all lined up in the one race. I always ran for my school because it was a free day off school. We used to have hundreds of people in the race and it was always people mashed in like sardines. I remember one year I got tripped up and literally fell over. It was really frustrating. The next year I pushed myself to the front of the starters and just sprinted from the start so I was winning until I ran out of breath and proceeded to slowly jog the rest of the run. Good times.
