Tips: Don't run/walk on and off. It just slows you down in the long run. Set out at a slightly slower pace than your 2 mile speed. Try to keep your speed the same (if anything speed up). If you feel like you have to walk, don't worry! Walk! Running beside someone will throughout the entire race will help you keep a fast pace. I suggest running 3 miles 2 or 3 days before the race then doing light work outs the last days before the race so your body will be rested yet prepared. Eat a good meal the night before then a light breakfest the morning of the 5k.

What are some tips for running a 5k road race if you haven't trained?
I know it's not safe, but I'm young and in decent shape. I used to run often (short-middle distance road races). I've decided to run a Thanksgiving 5k in Detroit tomorrow. Are there any basic tips for not getting hurt if you haven't properly trained?
Thanks for any help :)

Remember. Always warmup THEN stretch. You should never stretch cold muscles. Hydrate well about 3 hours before the race. Have fun in your 5k . Take it out at a comfortably fast pace and gauge yourself from there. Remember its just a race; its not the end of the world. Try your best. AND good luck.

Does anybody has any tips for running a 5k?
I am a 14 year old girl and I have a mile time of about 9:15. In two weeks (from today actually) I am running a 5k. Do I still have time to "train?" If so, what can I do? Does anybody have any tips... or anything else to say? Thank you so much!

- Go for a few long runs a few times a week (i.e. 30 minutes) mixed in with shorter, quicker workouts (i.e. Tempo around a track a couple times with full recovery then repeat).
- Do some squats, and other leg workouts. You'll also benefit from ab workouts.
- Find and set your pace. You're doing a 5k, and are focusing much more on endurance than speed
- Use your arms.
- When you start the 5K, run a bit faster when you start to get a good beginning start. Pace yourself after wards
- Eat healthy and drink lots of water. No junk food. At all
- Eat a good meal (don't stuff yourself though) the night before your race. Something with high carbs like pasta is recommended. Eat a good breakfast, but make sure you leave 1-2 hours between your meal and race.
- Stay warm and relaxed until your race, so you don't pull a muscle or get stiff muscles.
- Get in a good and easy warm-up before you begin and you must cool down for 10 minutes after wards or else cramping will start

What are some good breathing tips before running a 5k race?
Are there any good deep breathing excercises to do before running a 5k race? How do people prepare for holding their breath for a long time?

In through your nose and out through you mouth. Seriously like say this while you running along with doing it. It feels good.
