Answer 1

drink lots of water no later than an hour and a half before you will start and when you do run, dont sprint when you start. start off at a jog then if you feel alright go a little faster. than take a short, fast walk at different times. breathe deeply and slowly while you run, not fast and short. stretching before hand helps too.

Answer 2

well one thing u can do is train your body to breathe through the nose while running. and dont go so fast at the begginning. start off with a jog ad then work your way up little by little. also to train for it a good way is to ride your bike for a mile or so. this way you dont hurt ur knees while training. less impact on them. =)

Answer 3

I was a long distance cross country runner in college and was a pretty good runner. What you should do is start training before the long distance run. Start training six weeks before the run. Don't start by running distances. Measure yourself by time. If 5 minutes is all you can run, then walk another five minutes after you run. And then build yourself up to six minutes and so on. Make sure you run every day or every other day. Do plenty of stretching before and after you run. Do a short cool down jog after you run. Remember to take it easy in the beginning. But I bet by the end of six weeks you will be pretty happy with your results if you stick to the program. You may even find that you can run for 15 or 20 minutes.

Answer 4

all you need to do is just keep on running don't stop at all it helps alot!

Answer 5

start running today, u need ur body to get use to the running, so run as much as possible between now and that day. Also, pacing is really important for the long distance run. Find your pace.

Answer 6

To run longer, you need to do just that: run longer. Try running twice a day, once in the morning and once at night. Than choose 1 day for a long run. If you have a problem going the distance, set short landmark goals as you run. For example, you see a stop sign/stop light/parked car/fire hydrant about 250 feet away. Don't stop running untill you reach that point; than repeat, with another landmark.

Music also cures the boredom.

The trick here is consistency, go out and run even when (ESPECIALLY) you don't feel like running.

Good luck!

Answer 7

You need to remember to pace yourself. If you run to fast at first, then of course your system will begin to grow weary. I recently solved your same delema by merely purchasing running shoes which are proven to help you jog better. That's because it lets your joints extend, in which really prevents cramping.

Answer 8

WELL I KNOW THIS IS HARD TO BELIEVE BUT CALORIES ARE GOOD IN A WAY- THEY ARE ENERGY FOR UR BODY. SO IF YOU EAT A GOOD AND HEALTHY MEAL WITH A DECENT SORT OF CALORIES BEFORE THE RUN YOU WILL NOT GET TIRED AS EASY, AND WILL KEEP YOU GOING!!!!!!!

             IT REALLY WORKS I DO IT ALL THE TIME AND I DON'T GAIN ANY WEIGHT BEFORE ANY RUN THAT I DO!!!!!!!!!

Answer 9

this is something to be built on...it's hard when you have to run "the mile" or whatnot, because normally you haven't been training to do so...even though it's "just" a mile, it's difficult if you never run at all...so starting with a routine such as switching between running, jogging, and walking, then building up the time between switching can help you build up the strength to run much longer.

Good luck!

Answer 10

i've done a lot of cross country running so my first advice to you is NEVER walk during any run cuz otherwise you cant call your self a long distance runner. also, when you slow down, your slowing down you heart rate, and when you start running again it puts a lot of strain on your heart which costs you a lot of energy. when you run, keep your arms relaxed, this make your lung easier to expand and suck in air. pacing is really important. always keep a consistent pace. its important not to compete with those that sprint really fast at the beginning cuz that just drains you complete. so ya keep your pace consistent the whole way. but towards to end if you think you have enough strength to increase the speed and keep that up till the end then go for it. if your really committed to this, i suggest you practice at least 5 days a week. you will get a better feel for you pace.
