Question

Alright, well, I'm kinda out of shape, and tomorrow I need to run for an extended period of time... anyone have any quick tips to help me be able to run a little while... when I try I just get tired quick because well, I'm out of shape... any advice?

Answer 1

In order to build endurance, start off with a couple of miles first at the pace you are comfortable with. Pick up the pace near the end of the run. Gradually add in more mileage every couple of days and really work on mental toughness--don't quit if you're near the end! Just say to yourself:"hey i just did (5) miles, I can do one more!" Convince yourself you are not tired. Always remember that everyone gets tired during runs. Not many people know that running is the best way to get in shape--I guarantee very soon you will realize you are so much stronger than before. Be proud and good luck on your run! Hope this helps :)

Answer 2

You could start at a really fast pace and trust me it works because then your body regulates to it and it just gets use to it.That helped me a lot when i ran. But you never know just run at your own pace and if you really want to win or do your best just motivate yourself. You can do it!! Way to go!!

Answer 3

Stretch out well
Run at a slow pace you don't have to go far just long so go at an easy pace.
don't forget to walk to cool down after and stretch again

Answer 4

listen to your iPod really concentrate on the song or just what it reminds you of it dosnt really matter what but as long as you distract yourself somehow then you'll foget about how you want to stop running, and how tired you are

good luck

Answer 5
