How can I not stop running when I get tired?

Question

I start tennis today and I have never been a good runner. I was away all summer and couldn't really train. I always stop when I get tired and I don't know how to make myself keep going.

Answer 1

try to pace your self while running. dont go out too fast or too slow to the point where you are behind. or find the energy inside to puch the rest of the run.

hop it helps.

Answer 2

when my legs get tired/heavy i find that running faster for about 20 secs stretches my legs out and make them light again

Answer 5

When I am tired i focus on getting my knees up.  make sure that throughout running you are running at a pace that is comfortable to you and you are regulating your breathing.  Also make sure that your muscles are relaxed while running, tight muscles make you tire easy.
