I'm noboby, who are you?
One serious one that I give all my first time ultra runners but applies to shorter races - "find a pace that feels comfortable an then run SLOWER."
If you have completed a proper taper, you will feel like a charged lion. Hold back and don't let he adrenalin take you out too fast or you will STB(shit the bed). Unfortunately, most listen but don't heed and end up with a first time bas experience..
Why is it sideways?

It's a 5k. It hurt like hell...then I tried to pick it up. The end.

"Do you not know that those who run in a race all run, but only one receives the prize? run in such a way that you may win."

What was the secret, they wanted to know. In a thousand diferent ways they wanted to know THE SECRET. And not one of them was prepared, truly prepared, to believe that it had not so much to do with chemicals and zippy mental tricks as with that most unprofound and sometimes heart rending process of removing, molecule by molecule, the very tough rubber that comprised the bottom of his running shoes. The Trial of Miles, Miles of Trials, how could they be expected to understand that?

"Daddy, practice winning"
My daughter said this to me when she was 5. She asked me if I was going to win the Marine Corps Marathon, and I smiled and said "No". This was her reply.
