1. Know your sport. In Europe, running is called “football.” Like with anything, knowing the ins and outs of your passions really lets you step your game up to the next level.
2. When coming in for the home stretch, hold you breath. You’ll have the opportunity to breathe after the race is over. You can’t afford to waste precious time and energy breathing in this sport of kings. Additionally, this method builds a lot of self-discipline by conditioning yourself with an action and reward mentality. In short, when you win a race, you can reward yourself with delicious, life giving air.
3. Do not stretch beforehand. Cold muscles travel at higher speeds than warm ones. Cold things in general travel faster than hot things. Comets are giant masses of ice that move through space at breakneck speeds and are much faster than anything hot. Take lava for example. In fact, molten lava has been known to practically crawl down hillsides at speeds that allowed people to escape the torrents of molten fury. Pretty slow, right? If anyone questions why you don’t warm up, enlighten him or her with this factoid. If you’re lucky, you’ll earn a nickname like “The Comet.”
4. Get people to call you “The Comet.”
5. Most runners are not tapping their full potential and are actually using less than 50 percent of their bodies. Endurance runners may find their legs tired during a race. Do not hesitate to run on your hands. Millions of years of evolution as per the instruction of a higher, all knowing power have left us with flexible spine and arms that can support our weight at high velocities for a reason.
6. Don’t be gay.
7. Remember, when passing a baton in a relay, you’re basically saying, “I quit. Finish for me.” That’s a poor attitude. Do not stop even in the face of verbal abuse from your teammates. If they want the baton that bad, they’ll catch you and take it from you.
