Running Question?

Question

Hi, I have a question about running.

Whenever I run the mile at my middle school (which is weekly), afterwords I feel really sick and like I'm about to faint. This has never happened to me before this school year.

I run the mile in about 9 minutes, I eat breakfast beforehand, and I drink water. When I saw my doctor she said I was working myself to hard (I run the entire thing) but I dont think that's it.

What could it be?

Answer 1

Don't eat anything for 2-3 hours before you run. Have a good warm-up before hand to get your breathing and heart rate aclimated. Good stretching helps me also. Create a breathing pattern for yourself. I usually breath out on every other left foot. Don't go out to hard at the beginning, once your breathing and heart rate settle a little, start turning it on.

Answer 2

Sounds like you aren't used to running that far. Try doing it at other times during the week, and go a longer distance. You'll build up your stamina.

I doubt you have any health problems. A mile is a tough distance, because you have to run hard ... and then kick to the finish. Not much time to relax in there.

Answer 3

well did you do anythin in the summer, if you did nothing that could have made you lose some endurance also do you get 8 eight oz glasses of water? maybe you are dehydrated. Also do you have asthma? that would explain alot!

Answer 4

ur body isn't used to running the mile that often. runners run every day, so we don't get as tired from that. so if u run more often the mile won't be so hard...if u get where i'm coming from...

Answer 5
