How do i take seconds off my downhill race run?

Always ALWAYS head for the smoother path (obviously). Stay low, and keep your butt about two inches off the seat instead of more. Keep pedaling if you aren't in danger's way, and brake lightly when you are. Coordinate every move 10 seconds before you get there - it's hard not to get wrapped up in the "Oh damn! That's gonna slow me down!" attitude. Let it flow, but make sure the faucet's on full blast. When I rode, I had a knack for downhill, because I didn't worry at all about busting my butt or breaking any bones...I know that can be bad, but it will hinder you to a certain degree. Good luck!

About an hour before the race sit down and close your eyes. Visualize yourself running the race. Picture yourself running on every part of the track. Picture yourself picking up the pace when you need to and see yourself beating your opponents. When it comes to race time, the race isn't as intimidating because you just visualized it and you know what you need to do. It works, I promise. After your visualization, it's go-time. Warm up and listen to your fav music while you jog/stretch. Good luck. Remember being nervous is good. If you aren't nervous, you won't win.

contrast bath will help quite a bit.  for the morning i would keep it elevated and ice it for 15 minutes every hour.\n\nlater in the after noon. i would get a bucket of ice water and a bucket of very very very hot water. start with foor and ankle in ice water till cold, than into hot water till hot, back to cold then hot. you get the idea.\n\n if it is really bad, dont run. it is not worth it\n\nwear a rap if u do run. i personally would skip the race if i could

well this varies if you are a racing driver like michael schumacher he usually does by bending no legs and touch his toes followed by a bit of skipping, the best place is the gym. but you have not mentioned what kind of race

Try a company called Racing Beat.

Are you trying to figure out when it stops? \n\nIf so, look at your units:\n\nYou have meters per second squared, and meters per second... To get to seconds you're going to invert the meters per second squared and then multiply... \n\nYour answer is 7 seconds.

rest, since track started a few days ago I would rest up a bit. If you run daily your legs will always hurt because they are not getting rested. run for 2 days, take a day off....it will keep you in good shape but not completely wear you out.\nThe 400 is good but its over way too quick, much better at 800, if you have good stamana it'll help pass lots of people in the 2nd half of the race (ask you coach for some streches or look them up on the net, too hard to explain here)

WORK ON IMPROVING YOUR REFLEXES, THE START IS THE MOST IMPORTANT PART OF THE RACE, GET OFF ON THE G OF GO. OR WATCH THE TRIGGER FINGER OF THE STARTER.

Yes. There are running watches with two countdown timers. I believe the Timex Sleek has two timers. What you do is progam in say 6 minutes one one timer and 1 minute on the other and they will alternate to go off every 6 then 1 minutes. If you have a local running store they can help you with this. I worked at one, that's how I know this.\nGood luck.

Do half mile and mile repeats fast enough to where when you get the end you don't feel like you can go faster.   \nYou could do any combination of: \nfast 1 mile\n5 minute rest\nfast 1 mile\n5 minute rest\nfast half mile\n5 minute rest\nfast half mile\n\n\nThis will help build your speed.  Do this 2 or 3 times a week.  Also 1 or 2 times a week you should build up your endurance by running a moderate paced 3-5 miles or more if your up to it.  And if you have the time 1 day a week you should run hill repeats.  Hills are great at strengthening your legs which can make you faster!

4 two minute rounds with a 1 minute break between each round

I would recommend interval running.  Start out at a pace you can comfortably maintain for, say, five minutes and then run as hard as you can for one minute, then carry on at your comfortable pace for 5, then beast it again for 1 minute etc etc...aim to do this every other run.  Your 'other' run should concentrate on endurance so run a set distance at a steady pace and watch your times reduce....hope this makes sense...it's hard to explain in type

If you ride regularly and average 10 or more hours a week, I would recommend a half mile hill to do repeats on.  Any hill that is driveable is bikable.  Do it only once or twice the first time, and every two times after that, increase the repetition by one.  Give yourself a 45 second break in between the repeats after you coast down to the bottom.  When you are able to effectively ride it 10-15 times, find a longer hill and start the cycle over, although you don't have to neccesarily start back at 1 or 2 times.  That will help your endurance.  If you want more power during sprints, you can find a steeper hill of roughly the same length.  Hope this helps!
