I am 16 years old, and I am sure you are on here for advice, not to learn about my life.
advice
i just joined track last friday, and to tell you the truth i'm not the best runner. i'm good at shot put, long jump, and hurdles, but we have to run a mile everyday and i'm a long distance runner. how can i be a better runner, because if i start running for like 10 seconds i get tired. thanks!
Keep a steady pace, a pace you are comfortable with.
Breath when you run, sometimes people forget to breath. Breath in for 4 steps, out for 4 steps. If you keep your breathing slow, it will keep your heart beat steady, and will help you relax.
Be loose, if you tighten up, it takes up more of your energy. Don't clench your hands.
Get an up-beat song stuck in your head. One with a fast tempo that you can run to.
Keep your spine and your head alined. You need to keep your rib cage open to alow more air into your lungs.
