Approximately 1608 metres in a mile.\nBetter to run a mile than run a Marathon.\nMarathon's are inhuman.

Try running further and further every single time. I think you should also increase the amount of days you run like first once a week thentwice and so on

Firstly I suggest you run 5 miles/day, while training six days/week. That way you get to have a day off, preferably sunday. I am a professional athlete, I swim for my country. I motivate myself every morning by picturing myself standing on the victory podium! That helps me, well most of the time at least. Maybe a MP3 player will be a good companion on those lonely miles :) \nGood luck!

See the answer I gave to Tyson who asked the same question only a couple of days ago.\nHere was my answer, try these\nbasic speed training are assisted and resisted speed training. Assisted training (also called overspeed training helps to improve stride frequency. Resisted speed training helps to improve speed-strength and stride length. to improve your speed off the mark and acceleration. \nA typical session may consist of approximately 5 sets of 10 reps\n\ntry some of these sprinting technique drills like these could help improve your technique\nRaise Knees: 10 meters - jog - 10 meters - rest\nSprint 10 meters concentrating on raising knees as higher than normal. Jog for 10 meters and then sprint for 10 meters and rest. \n\nFast Knee Pick Ups: 10 meters - jog - 10 meters - rest\nJogging on the spot raise your knees to waist height while emphasising arm action. Move forward 10 meters with this action concentrating on the number of ground contacts rather than how fast you cover the distance. Try to get as many ground contacts as possible. \n\nFlicks: 10 meters - jog - 10 meters - rest\nWhile sprinting over 10 meters concentrate on flicking your heels up to touch your butt. \n\nLeg Speed: 60 meters\nThis is a normal sprint over 60 meters except all of your focus should be on your legs. Try to gauge the optimum leg speed for you by taking different stride lengths to see which yields the best results. \n\nHigh Hops: 3 x 40 meters\nBound from one foot to the other. The action is similar to skipping except your are trying to gain as much height as possible and stay in the air for as long as possible. Remember to recover fully between attempts. \n\nElbow Drive: 40 meters\nSprint for 40 meters concentrating on driving your elbow in a straight line. Keep your elbows flexed at right angles while keeping your arms relaxed.\n\nSpeed And Agility Drills\n1. Basic Sprints\nSet 2 cones out 10-20 meters apart. Sprint from one cone to the next and slowly jog back to the start. Vary the start of the sprint to make the drill more sport specific. \nFor example... \nFace backwards, lie down, jump up, pretend to receive a pass, jump to head a ball etc. \n\n2. Rolling Start\nExactly the same as above except you jog for 10 meters before sprinting. This drill is specifically designed to enhance acceleration rather than speed off the mark. Try running backwards or side stepping as well.

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!

To stay motivated you should run with friends. Dont run on the same course over and over. Explore new places, make new runs. You may not feel like running at first but once you get started it is much easier to run. Try to enjoy your surroundings. To get in shape just go out and run. If you are doing distance races (1 mile/2mile/800 meter) you should run higher milage. Like five miles. If you are not in shape take it easy. For people just starting to run try 20 min. If you are experienced try 40 min or higher. Intervals on the track is a great way to build speed. which is very critical. Try doing a couple of 400's. For starters try 5-6. Then increase the amount when you feel u can. The point of a track workout is to get the heart rate up. For each 400 meter (1 lap) you should hit persistent times. Times should be all in the same range, laps should not be 70 sec. then 95 sec. Each lap should be at about the same time as the last on. You should have a five min. rest in between each 400. Time these and run them with friends. It will make it much more fun. Before the interval workout you should warm up for at least 10 min. You shouldnt have hard workouts everyday. This will lead to injury. After these hard runs, an easy longer milage (4-5 miles) is preferable. I am also in track.  Oh yeah and if you were able to go on the atkins diet, i wouldnt recommend it. You need carbs to energize yourself, especially if you do sports. Carbs are essential. I hope this info. is useful to you. Dont forget to stretch!

Start slowly and build up.  Start with walking, first, and then add running intervals once you feel comfortable.  A good plan for this is the couch to 5K plan, http://www.coolrunning.com/engine/2/2_3/181.shtml  The plan has you gradually increase your running intervals until you are running the whole time.  Also, don't feel that you have to sprint.  Just run at whatever speed you can do for now.  You can always get faster later.\n\nAs far as shoes, no one shoe is right for everyone.  If you have a running store around like Fleet feet, for example, go to the store and they will help you get the correct shoes for your feet.  If you don't have any local stores, try the shoe dog at road runner sports http://www.roadrunnersports.com  It will ask you different questions about your feet and your running, and recommend the best shoes for you.

I jouned when kicked out of colege and even though I am in decent shape, I was still in trouble with the running.  Don't like to run....So start running, little distances at first but buold up to a mile at least in 10 minuts before u go.\n     Also have some exercises to build up your upper body strenght.  But mostly and importantly...RUN..RUN..RUN !!!

start with running short distances, then walking a longer distance.  As you get into better shape, you shuld be able to run for longer.  Start off using a treadmill or running on dirt or grass, it is much easier on your joints than the pavement.  \n\nGood luck, and happy running.

Before you can get fast you have to have a strong base. Start by going on longer runs, maybe 4 or 5 times a week. And stretch nightly. Continue do build up your endurance for about a month or so, along with lifting weights... its important that you have a strong core, so do a lot of abdominal exercises. To become faster it wont happen over night, treat your body like your temple and make friends with your running shoes.

to increase endurance remember Long (time), Low (intesity) and Regular.\n\nYou can also stick in some intervals to build up your lactate tollerance.

run lots of wind sprints\nrun suicides in the Gym\nrun steep stairs if available on a hill in your home town\nif there is a sand pit in your area run up the sand hills to get your legs alot stronger. if your old enough lift weights.anything you do to make yourself stronger will help out tremendously. good luck

The best solution I've ever found is 'wind sprints'. Find a location where you have 100 yards or so to work with. Mark off lines at 20 yards, 40 yards, 60 yards, 80 yards, and 100 yards. The object here is to push yourself beyond normal limits, while having short, attainable goals.\n\nStarting at the 'start line', sprint to the first mark (20 yards) and back again as fast as you can. Rest 5 or 10 seconds. Sprint to the second mark (40 yard) and back as fast as possible - again resting 5 or 10 seconds afterward. Continue until the 100 yard (200 actually) is complete.\n\nThe main problem with any endurance training is a lack of goal attainment. Running 20 miles is fine, but at 10 miles your goal is to simply finish. You've not demanded more of your body than normal. Good luck to you!

the most important thing is to keep running on a regular basis. try to build up your endurance first, then speed. try to run at least 5 days/week. increase your total weekly distance/time by 5-10% per week, with a week of staying the same about once a month to help keep your body from overtraining. work on your endurance by doing a long run once a week; if your race distance is 2.1 miles, your long run should be at least 5 miles with 10 miles running nonstop being ideal. you can also do a variety of flexibility and speed drills such as fast feet (take very short steps as fast as possible over a certain distance, maybe 50 yds), high knees (exaggerate the height of your knee as you walk/jog; basically try to bring your knees up to your chest, same distance as fast feet), and striders (try to take the longest strides you can over the same distance as before; try to imagine yourself leaping like an antelope). intervals/fartleks - run at a comfortable pace, then go faster for a time, maybe a minute, then back to comfy pace; cycle fast/slow for 20-30 min. repeats - choose a distance, maybe 200 yds to 1/2 mile, and run it at full speed; walk/jog until you're ready to do it again; ~5 should be a good workout with a long warmup and cooldown (at least 15 min jog each for warmup and cooldown). stretch after running or at least after a warmup of no less than 5 minutes or you'll risk a greater chance of injury. don't do speed work more than twice a week unless you're in racing shape. for that matter, don't do much speed work when you're increasing your base/weekly mileage. There's a link to a comprehensive running website below that includes forums. Feel free to ask away and you'll get lots of advice; just be careful to weed out the bad advice you'll sometimes get.

reduce your speed and distance, increase them gradually\nincrease 1km every 2 weeks\ndont run on hard surfaces like concrete/asphalt...you should prefer running tracks/mud/grass\nif your shoes are old, the padding effect will be very low...get new ones\nice your shins after running\ndont strain yourself

heck if it is thta far out //run some more races if you can..try to give yourself a realistic goal and a possible goal..like 33:30 for a rea;istic goal and under 30if you keep running and improving
