It's very simple: Mind over Matter. When your legs are killing you and your out of breath..you have GOT to keep pushing it, and don't let yourself quit. After your done running your required length, do not just throw yourself on the ground, lol you've got to walk it off, and get your heart rate back to normal speed without killing yourself. Drink LOTS of water,,,and i mean LOTS of water. The whole 8-12 glasses a day deal....and in school carry a water bottle....and oh yah STRETCH!!! you've got to stretch!! and be sure to run and practice atleast 3-5 times a week. The more the better...In the beginning be sure to give yourself a day or 2 off so ur muscles can heal, the more you run the easier it'll get.the 1st week might seem like torture, but i swear...once you get to the 3 weeks or 1 month period...running is going to feel so easy happy.gif
