Keep running. A lot.
And set a pace. You're not one of them marathon runners. You can't sprint the whole mile. Just set a steady pace and you'll get there. And errr. don't walk. - Chinkieeyedpnoi |

um practice on ur breathing, keep a steady pace so u wont feel off balanced and tired at times and energetic at other times...if u want to build up ur speed and ur running ability, maybe u should be ankle weights( bags with sand in them where u strap on to ur ankles) and run around with them.

Condition yourself to run at a constant speed for five minutes, non-stop.
Then have thirty second breaks in between. |

well I don't run much but i still have some tips:
-keep an average speed during the journey -don't drink or eat too much water before running or after running -no matter how tired you are, keep running, you can slow down slighty but NEVER walk -try to keep your breathing and your steps in a certain sequence hope these tips are usful..... - Jason |

start out at a steady pace and stay with that pace throughout.
dont stop, because when you do, it actually makes you more exhausted. and when your not running, take a deep breathe, hold it for as long as you can, then let it out. [it helps your heart] my coach makes us do that and it helps. |

ok this is what one of the coaches does at school:
-breathes out of his nose so he wont run out of air -shaves all of his hair off (he shaves his arms,legs,armpits,head, and i dont wanna know what else he shaves....) because he said having a lot of hair can make u go slower. -dont eat a lot before u run if i think of more ill edit this |

eh, i'm on my school's cross-country and track team and yeah, i agree with what everyone has said. just run at a steady pace, and don't EVER stop or walk. and keep on running, at least one mile a day or something.

Find a steady pace and don't forget to breathe. Also if you run everyday your legs won't tire as much and you get use to it. 9 mins. Well I know you're faster then my friend

90% of the fighting is done in your head. Don't walk.

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
 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
