[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]He's probably trying to run too fast. Slow down, and go for disantce not speed.[/quote] My first thought was he's going much too fast. Instead of going into a full sprint, which many kids do, go at 50% or even 60%. I ran a 5K several years ago and kids from an ES or MS were participating. I kept "leap frogging" with one kid -- he'd sprint for 100 meter, pass me, and then walk for a few minutes and I'd pass him. (Then repeat this.) At one point, as I was passing him, I said "Run with me." He got the "non sprint" pace figured out, and then picked it up to something more suitable for him (left me behind in the last half mile). His mom saw this happen and thanked me afterwards. [/quote]
