AGAIN I went out way to fast and heat slowed me way down in miles 4,5 &6. Adrenaline, the crowd & a NOBO mentor are the only reason I was able to run the last mile and a half.
Still not sure why I take so fast! Is it because I watched IAAF world championship this week? My Jamaica roots? home of the great worlds greatest sprinters.
Any advice how to slow down on that 1st mile?
