Don’t go out to fast or slow. Find someone who is trying to run a similar time and with them if you can. Make sure your legs know how fast they need to move to make the race easier. If you don’t run often I would think it’s pretty hard to run that fast
Yes I am now realizing that. but now I think it only needs to be sub-25. I also forgot that it's harder to run in the winter. I think I almost just gave myself asthma running a mile to check my time (7:23)
That’s my average mile too, but my 5k time is 26:58. Have a decent first two miles, and really push on the third one
Congrats! You gotta do cross country though. Also Hilltoppers is a really fun name.
I’m doing cross country this fall, I didn’t do it this year due to marching band but regardless of whether or not I do it this year I’m gonna do cross country
Lots of easy runs = fast races. Try to think about a good easy pace as something conversational that you can talk with someone easily. For racing getting consistent at race pace takes a lot of practice.
Went out and did one for fun, 2:52.10.
