Yes. 

Always running with the treadmill on an incline helps. 10K on a flat treadmill is nothing like 10K on a road.

I figured as much.

Ran a 5k race today and fastest race time yet - 26:15!  I was hoping to get 25 minutes but ened up just short.

Did some interval training today.  Did 60 seconds at a sprint pace (about 8.5-9 mph) then 60 seconds at a slow pace (about 6.5-7 mph) then last two minutes spent at all out sprint (about 10-10.5 mph).  Ran the 5k in 25:20, and still feel like its getting easier/faster.  Not sure how much faster I can get seeing as I'm limited on my top sprint speed lol
