When you first start off... DO NOT sprint. Keep a good steady pace as much as you can... save your energy for the last couple of seconds when you're crossing the finish line _smile.gif And its important to not walk like everyone else said... you really lose a lot of stamina that way. Um... oh yeah. Don't kick up so high when you are running... stretch outwards instead of upwards. Keep your head up and dont' drop your head down, keep your elbows tucked in and remember that if you don't see a drastic difference in your time, its because you won't until you've ran approx 350 miles or so. You'll do better with time. Don't give up. And i'm not saying your time won't get a couple seconds better btw. I'm saying a DRASTIC change in your time won't occur til about the 350th mile or so... good luck and have fun! It's a great way to keep in shape and vent _smile.gif
