Not matching expected pace

I did approximately 5 weeks of the NTR plan before switching to the 10km plan. I'm now on week 7 of 8 as I have a race next Sunday. My expected pace is 58m-1hr1m. This morning I had an easy 5km run so decided to push it and try and match my expected pace and get a 5km under 30mins. I failed and was a 31:26. Maybe I had an off morning who knows. I've always pushed myself on my tempo runs and my normal long runs I hoover around 6:47km/min and I find that pace easy. Not even sure what I'm asking. I had a 9km on Monday so maybe I'm still recovering from that. I'm not worried about being unable to do the distance but I'd love to do it in under 1hr. Cheers
