Re: How do you choose what to run too?

i choose to run to a more modern kinda rock/ country songs they are calm for a not pounding it pace where youll die yet their upbeat so it makes you think about pace artists like jason aldean and toby keith and keith urban and other songs are good.

Re: How do I run negative splits AND get faster?

my personel advice would be to work on your endurance and maybe do it more often try distance of 4 miles one day 5 the next and then 4 again to not over work it and then 1 or 2 days a week try to do some speed and do maybe 10n 200's around a track or somewhere to work on speed.... You can do an 10 minute mile in no time just pace your self

Im a local high school runner im about to run districts and im up against some stiff competition i need to make it to states and im ranked 5 and i got to get 4 anyone got anything motivational for me. Maybe even some things to motivate me to train for next year what do you guys tell yourself before you train and if you do anything extra like cross train what do you do anything could help me.

there are difernt running strategies for everybody you have got to find yours this is your first race so dont be to hard on yourself. Me personally i stick on the back of another runner and let them set the pace this way they block the wind and it breaks the other person mentally believe me and if you feel its to slow go by her throw a few surges to that helps friendly competition. If you dont like doing that then next race you can try going out fast but usually that tactic doesnt work unless your really in great shape.

Goodluck with your first 5k and have fun

Re: Suggested Mile Repeat Times?

guest — Thu, 07 Apr 2011 22:28:36 GMT

no i would keep with the 2 miles in between the mile repeats thats adding endurance but make sure to take your rest you want to be able to work them all hard if you keep what your doing youll see a difference and start to improve you just gotta push yourself never say its too hard youll run a 18:45 just last year i was running 21's now i run a 18:48 3 months agoand havent ran one since you can do it for your repeats i would try to start out with a 6:05 even for both but then when it starts to seem to easy push yourself and lower the time. Your second should be faster than your first.
