While everyone can race, it can definitely be intimidating to determine exactly which race distance makes sense for you. Here’s what to consider, based on where you are in your running journey and your goals.

The main thing to remember when training for any race is that you always want to include: 1️⃣ easy runs to build your weekly mileage with low intensity;speed work to focus on race-specific pace goals;rest days to soak up all the gains and allow for your body to properly rebuild and restore.No matter what you’re training for, you need to always be on top of your

levels and fuel. As for nutrition during the mile? There is no time for that. Instead, focus on your prerace fuel and make sure you go into your workouts well-fueled. Remember, fuel is energy!When racing the mile, break it down into four sections—one section for each quarter mile. If you have a goal time, divide that finishing time by four. That way you have splits for each quarter to help keep you on track.Your main objective is to start confidently, but also to be smart.
