I have a 5K race at 9:00 this morning, any tips to do well?

Question

Don't say anything about having a good breakfast; I already did.

Answer 1

hydrate, hydrate, hydrate...  light snack an hour before (powerbar, granola, or anything high protein).  make sure that you stretch properly.  3.1 miles doesn't seem like a long distance to some, but cramping often holds a runner back, if they do not stretch properly.  be sure to drink plenty of water, not GATORADE!!!   Good Luck!

Answer 2

c**p, i'm late... its 9:05...

but i was gonna say Jog till you get to the end, or RUN REALLY FAST, and when your tired, Jog

Answer 3

you just run and only!

Answer 4

Drink plenty of water throughout the morning and don't start the race going out like a gangbanger! within the first mile

Answer 5

Jog an easy 2 miles to get your heart rate up to operating range 10-15 minutes before the gun.

Run fast.  

5k is almost a sprint, so there's not much to it.
