Calling all MFK Runners!!!

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
??...Anyhow,never cared much for that Schneider guy so I didn't bother to look at it.
 
Best tips I can give: keep your head up and don't slouch so you can breathe easier, don't clench your fists as it hurts your circulation and last but not least is to keep going. You'll never finish in time if you stop.

Good luck you can do it.

Thanks for the advice Hemi..
 
Let us know what you do when you start. I know you can do it.
 
Will do...might be hitting a track tomorrow.
 
Be careful. Its addicting.
 
I can use it.
 
Make sure you stretch before running. No BS stretching either. Do a real good five minutes of stretches. Always do a few minutes of walking to cool down after the run. And then stretch again.

The night before a run test, I used to eat a good pasta dinner and a couple of beers. I would then drink as close to a gallon of water as possible. Always ran my best after that. And chew a small piece of gum to keep your mouth from drying up.

While stretching is important, you never want to stretch before you warm up. This can do more harm than good. I recommend that you run a lap to warm up, then do a few minutes of stretching. It is best to stretch when your muscles are warmed up, then stretch again after your run.
And what sincebeen is referring to is also known as ''carbloading''. Basically eating a lot of carbs the night before to store energy for a long run the next day. As you are only running a mile I don't recommend this as it could lead to eating too many carbs, witch leads to un-necessary weight gain. I'm not discounting what he said, as he has the right idea, but I run 5-10 miles a day, 6 days a week, and I only carbload before races of 13 miles or more. I used to do it for shorter races like 10Ks (6.1 miles), but I run those in less than 40 minutes and I don't really need all of the extra stored fuel. Half marathons, marathons, and longer races or runs and I will carbload like no other.
