My friend is running a 10k?

Question

I have never seen or watched a 10k before and I don't want to run out of things to yell or yell the same thing over and over that doesn't mean anything. She needs a lot of motivation because she is really scared about this.

Answer 1

just keep telling her how much her *** jiggles when she runs and how fat she is... thats good motivation

Answer 2

Well, if she's running with other people, ask her to pace someone. Find a comfortable inhaling-exhaling pattern and maintain it throughout the run. It's also good to let the mind wander off, ie day dream. I find it very useful when I go for my 5km run, so hope it works. Oh, and lastly, ask her not to drink right before running, cause it'll cause stitches. Hope it helps!

Answer 3

Along with the other suggestions, get the people next to you to help cheer her on - especially at the finish line.  Just tell the people her name and they'll yell like crazy for her. She'll get a big kick out of it and its fun for you and the other folks in the crowd.

Answer 4

If your friend is running a race, and you can see her at several different places along the race, then you can tell her how she is doing, give her a drink, and encourage her.

Tell her how far she has come, and it is not much farther to the finish.

Make sure she is relaxed, and stays hydrated.
