A 5K is less than 2 miles short of a 5 mile, so you should be able to keep that pace up for the additional distance. go with what feels good for your body, but dont try to start off too fast.

Best times almost always result in SLIGHTLY negative splits. That means your first half is slower than your second half. Since you run a 5k in 23 minutes, running slower than that should let you finish stronger. How much slower depends on your endurance ability. If five miles is a long run for you then you may need to go a couple minutes slower so you can finish strong. If it's a normal run you may only have to back off slightly to let yourself finish strong.

The "best" pace depends on both your speed and endurance. If your 5K time is 23 minutes, you're doing about 7 minute 40 second miles. A 5 mile race shouldn't be too much slower than 5K race pace. Try to hit somewhere between 7:50 and 7:55 for each mile, so aim for a time between 38 and 40 minutes. Try doing workouts like 4-5 mile repeats at your target race pace or slightly faster (7:40-7:50). For another workout try something like a 3 mile jog, then 4-5 800s around 3:20-3:30. Do longer runs to improve your endurance, but only you can decide what is your best pace.

Did u get mad when someone pass u in a race?

back in the day i ran a 15:49 5k. It wasn't easy. If your 23 min 5k wasn't easy, you will not be able to keep that pace. Try and keep your mile times even, or break the course down into 3 sections. 2mile @ pace, 2 miles @ pace, 1 mile @ pace. The pace being up to your calculations.
