Hey guys. I'm just a girl going through the transition of a teenager to an adult and all that it entails.
I've had a colourful life with many a lesson learned and much to offer. Whether you want advice, support or just a chat then all you gotta do is reach out.
I'm honest, whether it hurts or not, but i'm fair; open minded and philosophical, a little crazy yet very logical, at times rather controversial.
If you have a question go ahead and ask!

Okay so I have to run a mile for cheerleading tryouts at the begining of august 2011. Right now I have about a 7:55 mile and I want to be able to run it and feel better at the end. I am NOT a long distance runner. I did track the last 3 years but I can't do it this year. I need things I can do that take like 5 miinuets to do everyday to improve my leg strenght and endurance. Any tips? I need somethings to help me be able to run a mile and not be so tired during or after. I don't have a lot of time after school because I have stuff to do after school till 6 then hw till like 8:30 and I can't go any where after that. Soooooo.........
•what are some conditioning things I can do to strengthen my legs?
•how can I get more endurance with out running everyday?
-------I have all star cheer eery wed. And sun. For like 3 hours and it's a big workout but I need some more things to do.
• what are some things I can do so a mile is easier to run for me?
Sorry this is so long. Lol :) thanks soooo much though!!!!
:))))
To be honest the solution is pretty simple. Practice makes perfect. Work on doing maybe ten minutes and building the time up everyday until you can do half an hour of non stop running. By that time you should have a fairly decent level of fitness that you can start judging your running distance wise.
See how far you can run after building up your fitness and everyday for like five days a week try to go that little bit further. Keep setting smaller but realistic targets for yourself to reach and in no time you'll be able to run a mile and further if you wanted.
But running takes regular practice. You cant cheat your way into being able to run a mile. Do your stretches before and after, keep yourself well hydrated and you should be absolutely fine. I also find doing muscular workouts beforehand such as 8 minute abs, legs and glutes which is a great warm up, toner and releases great bursts of energy.
