How to pass people??

Question

when i get passed while running i always give up and cant help slowing down even when ive gone faster before...how can i learn to pass people back and not slow down when i am passed?

Answer 1

There are good answers here. Just catch up to them little by little, then pass them in a last-ditch quick run. Do not give up! Have confidence in your goal, and practice a lot. Get pumped up for the run!

Answer 2

to pass we always announce which side we are passing on.  just think about running and don't give up.  just run steady, soon you'll be better.

Answer 3

theres a thing called coasting that is when  you trail behind the leader  to minimize wind resistance

on the 3rd turn in the 400m for example the leader will be a little tierd and as u start the 3rd turn u can make a move inside or outside of him wht ever seams better

Answer 4

my brother actually taught me a trick..all you do is follow right behing them and let them take your pace so that means run the same speed as them throughout everything except for the end when your almost there and make sure to give yourself time to do it just go faster and faster and itll be easy to pass them because youve been behind them the whole time and your almost at the finish line so you speed pass them it works everytime hopefully i helped =] good luck

Answer 5

There are a couple of options.. depending on how your brain works when you're running.

One - you can push to not let them pass you. If you fight it, sometimes people will back off. You have to be careful and not burn all your energy, but sometimes picking up the speed to stay ahead will push you to run a faster race. It's hard, but adrenaline and the desire to win can help. :)

Two - just focus on their back (or their number if they have one). Try to keep a set distance between you, and don't let the gap get any bigger. Then, little by little, creep up on them, so you are close enough to push past them at the last stretch.

That's what I do anyway. Hope this helps.
