Saw lots of Team MMS people on Vaughn Road as I was heading home. Although I'm too slow to run with them, it was nice to think we were all on the road at the same time. :)

blah Agape Run for a Mom 5k 3.1 mi 00:40 12:44 pace
I am no good at racing. My first 2 miles were 12 somethings, then my 3rd mile was 14 something. I don't know why I can run farther faster on training runs and I feel completely done on races. ... read more

do you do anything different about your routine before a race? Do you warm-up? Do you eat anything differently? When you train, you have someone with you. get someone to run a race with you. They might push you.

I usually don't eat before I run at 5:30, so I haven't been eating before I race either, but that is a couple of hours later starting. We do a quick 5 minute walking warm up on training days, so maybe that is what is missing. Yesterday's race started 10 minutes late and we were in the corral 10 minutes before what was supposed to be start time so maybe that 20 minutes of standing around messed me up.

you HAVE to warm up. Most of us run at least a mile as a warm-up. the warm-up needs to be easy mostly, with a few pick-ups to show your muscles what you're about to expect of them. I would eat something before a 5K. Nothing big, but some carbs for sure- like 100 cal of granola or anything with a 3 to 1 carb to protein ratio. A half a banana with a spoon of peanut butter. And drink some water.

don't get discouraged. pick one day a week to push yourself faster than the other days. And then pick one day a week to go longer than the other days. Try to have several days between those two runs. You will quickly notice that you can run faster for longer. :)

Good job getting out there. My take: If your heart rate is still high but your perceived exertion is back in the right range, keep going. Your heart rate will gradually drop. If the heart rate and perceived exertion are both high, it doesn't hurt to walk a minute or two until everything is back under control.
