How To Run A 10K

This distance is all about rhythm and patience. What you need to do is get into a good rhythm for the first half and wait for the second half to let rip.

Do not bolt from the starting line like a racehorse, you will get tired quickly and your race will be over before you know it.

You need to be aware of your splits per kay, but don't get into a panic and start looking at your watch every couple of seconds.

Try and sit behind someone who is running at your pace, focus on relaxing and conserving energy. Then when the second half arrives you will be ready to turn it on.

If possible you should try and drive the route before you race it. This will give you an idea of when you can accelerate or when a hilly section is coming so that you van conserve energy.

No matter how tired you are after the race, make sure that you get in a cool down run, even for just a few minutes. This is to shake the lactic acid out of your legs, and bounce back quicker for your next run.
