wanna kno how to get better? here's the secret...





u run.


push urself to the limit. ur tired? big whoop. keep on going. keep on running until u feel like ur gonna pass out from hyperventilation. (don't tho, thats not a good thing to do..) always try to improve ur time. practice breathing excercises. people always are huffing and puffing and they get stitches way too easily. pace urself. don't run too fast and then die out from lack of energy. work out. do squat thrusts, sit ups, push ups, go swimming, etc, etc. improve ur stamina. try racing with friends. it gives u a goal and incentive to whoop their asses on the track field.

i run like...a 6 minute 25-30 seconds time for a mile. for my school, we run a lot every day. 4 miles on average + 2 miles worth of 1/2 mile sprints or 6 miles non stop. i should be on the track team for sprinting cause i'm a like whoa fast sprinter, but i don't have time for it.

meh. u get used to it. and its great for exercise. plus, u get great muscles in the legs.

haha, i agree with dahding.

c'mon, 8:32 isn't bad, it's good. my fastest time is 6:25 and i can't go back to that kind of time now. im like the 8:00 type of person.

DON'T GIVE UP is a way of running better. believe me, i have comments from my peers that "I'm never tired." *cracks up* c'mon, of course i'm tired, i just don't give up.
