How to keep my head in a 2k?

New PB 7:18.7!
Not a massive improvement but I'm pretty happy

I started off 1:45 for the first 250m and then settled back to 1:50 until the 3rd 500 where I went up to 1:53 and at the last 500 I slowly ramped things up bringing it down to 1:48, I normally sprint at 250 but I didn't have enough left and instead started at about 180 left and brought it down to 1:33 by the end.

I'll hopefully improve on that in the future, my friend's PB is 7:13 so I want to get down near him soon.
