basketball
So I'm running my first ever 5k on Saturday and I need tips! I'm not on the cross country team but Im still in pretty good shape (my mile time was 7:04) and I've been playing basketball. It's not distance running but it keeps me in shape. So anyone have tips?
Answer
run the 5k once a day 4-5 days a week. don't do it every day because then you will burn yourself out and never have time to recover (like it kind of seems you are doing now). drink lots of water before you run not to get cramps, then do a 3-5 minute jog as a warm up. after that stretch out. you should stretch out after the warm up and not before (remember this because stretching out before is almost useless) when you are done with your workout then do a cool down (same as the warm up) and stretch again not to be sore the next day. get a watch to time yourself and preferably do this at a nearby track at a high school. make sure your running shoes aren't very old and worn out. a eat stuff with protein and after your workout drinking a glass of chocolate milk can help you muscles recover quicker then normal. anything that motivates you like music is also helpful. get a watch to time yourself and keep track of your progress. good luck with running and i hope this helps

How to run 5k????????
Q. I'm 13 and i'm not allowed out of the house by myself so i can't go running anytime i want. I'd be lucky if i got to run once in two weeks. I don't have a treadmill either. Is there any exercise i can do to help me run or am i stuck.
Answer
Try jump roping or doing high knees in place. You might also want to bound or do plyometrics in the house. Do pushup and situps, planks. Hopefully you have stairs so can do repeats. Try doing after school of possible or joining a Club or team. Running is mental so maybe listen more to podcasts, read Runner's World, training books, watch the Olympics or go online and watch video of running events. Watch their form and work on your motion. I think the trick is get good grades and tell your parents you really want to run. Pester the heck out of them. Good luck!
