running with fast runners
ok. so, school started for us thursday, august 10. my classes are great, and i have atleast one friend in each class. in p.e., i have several friends, but atleast half of them are really good runners. every year, we do this fitness thing where we have to do sit-ups, stretching, etc. we also have to do a mile run. this bothers me a lot, because i'm not really a good runner, and i feel bad because my friends are really athletic, and i wanna atleast be behind them in the mile run, not somewhere near the end. i know i can focus myself to not stopping and stuff, and that i can probably take the pain, but i have troubles with the breathing. how are you supposed to breathe while running so you won't get too tired or any of that stuff?

ok there isnt any kind of breathing tecnique that is magically going to make you run faster. What u have to do is run. Every day, try to do 15 mins. It is only a mile race, and you should easily be able to get in good enough shape to run one, in about 2-3 weeks. But, as for breathing, try to concentrate on on syncronized brething. Breath in through ure nose and out ure mouth.

breath in through your nose and out through you mouth.

Ok, I do cross country and track.
Well, you're supposed to take deep breaths every time, so that it not only fills up your lung, but your stomach also. Breathe in through your nose, breathe out through your mouth. Make sure you breathe rhthymically. Concentrate on your breathing.
As for running, you have to use good form. This means that your back is pretty straight, not leaning forward or back. You also have to keep your elbows up, so it should be around your ribs, not your waist.
Keep a steady pace, and sprint at the end.
Try not to think "I don't want to run," or "I feel like stopping," while you're running. Try to think about anything else, or look at the scenery. And if you really feel like stopping, think "I'll at least get to that tree" or whatver (if you are running in a woody area), and when you pass that tree, think "i'll at least get to THAT tree". Or, just concentrate on your strides or breaths.
If you want to run faster, pump your arms faster, and your legs will automatically want to speed up.
If your arm feels tired, try not to clench your fists too tightly. Also, if you use longer strides (do it consciously) you will find that your time will be faster.
Hope this helps.
Tell me how you do. :)

keep a steady pace in the beggining dont run to slow but dont run to fast. And when you get to
the last lap or straight away sprint. ( as in as fast as you can run. )
breathing : take two steps as you inhale. they take two more steps as you exhale.
