intervals during a race ?

for someone reason i feel like negative nellie BUT i was just thinking about when I do some local races, 5k's or 5 miles, there always seems to be some young ladies (teens ??? ) who will pass me fast and then a few minutes later they are walking and I pass them, then a few more miles and they sprint past me, this goes on for much of the race. I can't stand that. Pace yourself ladies. Usually they wind up walking and I never see them again, but some of them do seem to beat me and i think am i racing wrong ??

  3. So true! I find it more from men, though, then anywhere else. It always kills me b/c I am NOT their competition!

  5. The group I train with actually trains this way with 5:1 intervals they tend to end up running faster than me

  7. Ha! I know what you mean. Like they Gallowalk the whole race. It got me through my first 10 mile (not race) when I was trying to have a breakthrough. Racing though....? I'm with you, pace yourself ladies.
