    Racing a one miler is the devil, period. :laugh:

    Which leads into my next topic... I have my first 1 mile road race in less than a month. The thought of a one mile race has me nervous. My lungs burn, I lose my vision, my arms pump so hard, every part of my body aches. I feel as if I can't breathe from .12 into the race... I'd like to run sub 5:40

    Help!!!

    Hijacking your own troll thread? What the hell?

    it would make sense if you knew her

    See? *That* was funny.

    I guess I'm not part of your cool kid's clique, b/c I don't get it. Dang. This is how you find out you're not cool, huh?

    Slow down. Your pace is probably too fast. Shoot for a pace you can comfortably carry on a conversation with another person. Once you build up your stamina for that, speed will come.

    I can barely speak after the first 2 miles of a 5k or 10k... Is that too fast?

    it sure sounds like you're going out too fast too early
