Runing Stratgy

I don't know what distances you guys like to run but my favorites are the 1600 meter at track and the 5K (By the way I normally use english measures)
1. 1600 m(mile)
Pace your self a lot (like really slow) it may be boring but your body needs a chance to warm up. The next lap (or 1/4 mile) speed up, do this for the next 3 laps and when you are about 200 m away from the finish line sprint(again I normally use english measures.)
2. 5K
Set a goal. During your training reach that goal that goal should be a good fast time (but not like world class or anything.)
Race Day Drink those powdered drink thingys that look like this.They are good for the mile too.



As your running do what works but push your self, what I mean is if you side hurts don't slow down, take deeper breaths (etc.). Two of my major rules are 1. never stop 2. never walk,trust me it will ruin your rhythm and you will come out with your slowest time ever. Trust me.When you are about 200 m away from the finish line sprint(for the last time I normally use english measures.)
