Pacing myself while I run?
816234
Since you are just starting out, try running only one mile and see how you do.  Don't try to go fast the whole time.  Then set a goal for your self on your mile and then move up to longer runs after you complete that goal.  Trust me it will work.   :)

Well I would imagine that anything that helps you run faster is a good work out so try running more. See if you can get faster. Also, watch what running backs do while running. They are constantly dodging would-be tacklers, so it might be good to have a few of your friends try to catch you while you are running.

Well...I'm always rushing in two seconds before I would be considered late. I know if I'd just get moving ten minutes earlier, I could dawdle a little...but no, I must do everything last minute. Geez, maybe I ought to get some therapy for that. LOL

Running in a crowd helps....set your pace by someone you think is going to beat that 8-minute mile, and keep up with that person.\n\nAnd keep running.  You're doing fine for distance, but your problem is that you just haven't paced yourself for speed.  Try to do a mile a little faster each day that you run.

You may be pushing too hard. Do you eat before you run? That can be a factor as well

I you are starting from zero, here is what I would recommend:\n\nStart walking. Do it at a brisk pace. When you can walk 4 miles in under an hour, start alternating jogging with walking. If you are working out on a track, start by jogging the straights and walking the turns. If you are running on a path or trail, you can count steps. Jog 100 steps, walk 100 steps. \n\nGradually increase that jogging distance and cut down the walking intervals. You are going to be the best judge of what you can handle and how rapidly you want to make the transtion.\n\nOver time, you want to do some longer slower workouts, up to 6 miles, and maybe some shorter ones where you push yourself a little harder than your normal jog for all or part of it.\n\n\nNote: The benchmark of walking 4 miles in under an hour comes from my orthopedic guy. That's his recommendation for working back into running when recovering from an injury. That's a similar situation to what you are doing.

You have to time your breathing...\n\n1. Don't pant!! When you pant, it tires you faster by using much more breath.\n\n2. Don't run with your mouth open!! If you're moving at a fast pace, or any pace at all that's not walking, then you need to keep your mouth shut(not trying to sound rude), because wind enters your mouth and you will tend to have a dry mouth and want to swallow alot, and if you swallow alot, you will run out of breath faster!\n\n3. Jog first, and then run once you get the hang of it!! Here's a tip: get a heart rate bracelet so you can keep up with your rate and once your rate just stays the same, then you can run!\n\n4. Keep water with you. Jogging/running always leads to a dry mouth/throat!!\n\n\nHope the tips helped!!

whatever you do, always remember what time you have trained for. if you go into a race thinking OH MAN I FEEL GREAT and start way faster than you have trained at, ever, it will soon come to a miserable slowdown. Better to start a little too slow and end strong, passing people who have made a pacing error.\n\nAlso, try to practice core stability training into your non running workouts, good posture helps you breathe better and good balance will keep you on your feet. \n\nManners: be sensitive to how people can be about telling their times at a race. I always say, did you meet your goal today? instead of what was your time?? if you really want to know a time, check the results sheet later....

When you run do some sprint work.  run at a moderate pace for about 100ft, then sprint  a hundred, keep doing htis.  track workout work best so you can maybe do a 1/4 lap interval then raise it to a half lap alternating between sprint and moderate pace. you will be amazed at the difference in your overall speed over time

Alternating is a great way to go. You walk for one minute, and jog for one minute, then walk for one minute, and run for one minute.\n\nAt first you may need to build up so, try walking for three minutes, and running for 45 seconds, brining the times closer until you can do one for one minute, and the next for one minute. Then, build to two minutes, and so on.

Pace yourself. Like the name says, use up every piece of time you have for each lap. Don't rush and keep a good pace.

First off, do not expect it to happen over night, or within a week, or within 2 weeks.  You did not put it on that quickly so you won't be losing it that quickly either.\n\nInterval running on a treadmill or on a track is my top pick.  Interval running on a treadmill is easy to setup and I will use that as my example.\n\n1. Get on treadmill\n2. Walk at a moderate pace (2.5 - 3.5 mph) for 2 minutes to warm up\n3. Jog at moderate pace (4.5 - 5.5 mph) for 2 minutes after the walk\n4. Sprint intervals (6.5 - 8.5 mph) for 2 minutes after the jog\n5. Repeat steps 3 & 4 for a total of four to five times\n6. Finish with step 2\n7. Stretch

10 minutes of continuous running is not bad at all. You should build up slowly. Running for few minutes and taking breaks in between is quite common and is often used to build up running time, the key is to mix it up. I would not advise running twice a day, At least not everyday! Once in a while is ok because last thing you need is an injury. To be on the safe side the max I run is 3-4 times a week. Allow your body to heal after nice jogs. And if you feel any pain don't run, listen to your body. Let it heal completely before you start running again.

This could be a number of things.  I'll float you a few suggestions.\n\nA wondering mind is not necessarily a bad thing.  I do lots of thinking on my runs.  \n\n1. Try a completely different course/route/trail.\n2. Challenge yourself.  Try a serious hill, or mix in some speed play.  \n3. Run with a friend.\n4. Make sure you are getting enough rest.  Don't overtrain.\n5. Ratchet up the intensity.  If you're just shuffling along, you may not be hitting your target heartrate.\n6. Try running a local race, say a 5 or 10K.  In training after the race, look to improve upon that time, or draw upon your experience during the race.\n7. Set a goal.  Run for something other than the sake of running.  It is good for you, but sometimes you need to work to make it fun.\n8. Consider cross training.\n\nKeep it fresh, and you should sharpen up...

First thing first i just wanna say, like yourself  you say you do walk alot, -same here! I've walked so much in my life it's unreal litterly every day i go for a walk, then one day I started walking quiet fast, and seen people in a group out for a run/jogg one day. Thats when i thought hummm..... I cant do that... i'd .look so funny. See I' say that cause i'm tall, and to see a tall person bobbing along is like a giant flying in the air lol. or at least at the time I thought it that way. So i said to a friend one day- I think i should get into running! He said go for it,! -(him being very fit and active and motivating). I'm like i'd look really funny, and so he said inreturn- everyone looks funny but no one is really watching you unless they think you look good or happen to see you. So start slow he said to me, and thats what I did. Well i got my self some decent shoes for running and clothing-layers for the fall and cool nights and lighter clothes for when it started getting warm. I used my cd disman for a longtime to gage my running, and to help me keep a good speed based on the base and paste of the song. So that was one good motavation there. As for ur asthma, - ... start with jogging, and paste ur self- you can try and start with going on machines at a gym -tread,eliptical, etc or outdoors running (which i prefer when it's nice out).As for the fun part slap on an  mp3player wit an arm band or a waist/back pouch with ur diskman or walkmin etc and  put a good set of goodtunes that would keep you moving. A good selection of music you like thats fast -will help you have a bit of fun and gives you ur own focus and little world i find you get into when you have it going . But do start slow and only go at a rate inwhich your body and urself can handle things. Go with a friend or family member etc sometime together and having a campanion there might be fun too. just build gradually if your moving up to running. Do start with about 30min strech etc as you know probably before and after ur done ur cadio workout jog/run. As for a secret for running up hill's or roads that seem to be going up a bit when ur jogging/running, use your tip-toes and sortta bouce up hill,rather than putting ur foot flat and pressing with them when u go up hill. by springing up hill you'll get to the top or the stright way fas ter and always keep the speed you have up hill the same as down hill. hope i help a bit goodluck - i know u can do it :)
