tomorrow i am trying out for my favorite sport TRACK & FIELD!
i am in 7th grade so i have to try out for J.V.
for the try outs i have to run 6 laps around the track under 12 minutes [plus some other things but thats the hardest]. this is going to kill me! im not good at distance running. i do sprints. what if i dont make it? i live for track! is there any way i can get faster? i trying out with one of my best friends. we are the only ones trying out tomorrow becasue everyone else already did. i'm so nervous.
what can i do today till tomorrow at 3:30 to make me do better?
what are some tips for when im running?
anything you want to tell me!

Well , theres not much anymore, but do not drink soda, get good rest, maybe take a 2 mile run, which can get boring but its easy. When your running do not take big breaths! Smaller breaths can come out of teh nose, and i used to think closing my eyes helped me, but then i did not know where i was going and that is kind of important, so you may want to think about something different while your runnign.

Well try running for 12 minutes! see how you feel at the end of that and then try running for 16 minutes. this will help you build up your runnung strength! then if the running track is close enought to your house, see if you and a friend can go over there and have her time you while you run for 12-20min. see how many times you got around the track! keep working until you can get 6 times around the track in 12 min. explain to you 'coach' that you are a sprinter- after you run the 6 laps!
Tips
Dont take big breaths- this freezes your throat kinda
Pace yourself-start out slower then get faster towards the end of the 12-20min if you can!
If you start feeling sick, stop! your not gonna get better by making yourself barf!
Just have fun!- if you dont think about the running while your running, you'll prob. do better

Okay, I'm not so in love with running. But I know that you cannot just get faster or better by 3:30 tomorrow. When I started field hockey in the fall I could HARDLY run 2 laps without fainting but by the end of the season I could run 8 laps with hardly any work at all. All you have to do is pace yourself, bring water, and don't over work yourself. If your friend is a good long distance runner than maybe she could help keep you motivated, but you cannot really change your skill level by tomorrow. Just try your best and over the season you'll improve :)
hope it helps! ♥

You aren't going to improve in one day. If you want to improve your stamina and speed, that takes months. Besides, it's 7th grade JV track & field. Not competitive enough to warrant this much concern. No matter how important it is, you don't have to make it out to be the olympics.
And you sound pretty new to Track and Field considering that it's your LIFE.

pace yourself don't start with running really fast. save that for the end. on your last lap show them what you can do. try to sprint the whole lap .

ok, what you have to do is do alot of stretches that stretch out your legs, and practice breathing when you run so you dont get out of breath that easy. im more of a sprinter too, and i cant run long distance, but doing that, plus sometimes trying to eignore the pain (in your lungs, you panting...ect)(i know its kind of hard but you get used to it). but if you run a mile every day (i know you dont have time for that but..) you will also get used to it. Good luck!

STRETCHES: butterfly stretch, hamstring stretch, and any one where you are stretching your legs...you should google stretches too...
