Answer 1

mexican 1000s is the workout i have been doing, that is why i asked how much you should run 1000m in. you're a pretty smart girl, i do run a mile in 8.15, but this is what you have to do:

run 1000 meters.

rest 60s.

do 6 reps. every week or two add 2 reps.

this exercise keeps you in the lactate threshold. so you won't tire out. just don't rest too long or else the lactic acid has already seeped in! and your muscles/joints will hurt

Answer 2

gahh, run about 4-5 days a week atleast 30-40 minutes of running each time. The first couple days, only go out for like 20 minutes.

Answer 3

relax, the best thing you can do right now is work your way up to some nice long runs. you need the long runs before the season starts to build endurance. just do what you can with the rest of your summer and work extra hard when the season starts! good luck!
