    Myadvice isgoout relatively hard yourfirst lap (1:40ish),listen toyoursplits (each needs tobeunder 2,under,4,under 6) thengive ityourallthatlast lap.

    Ifthistest isforyourschool andyouhavea medical condition,theyshouldmakeaccommodations foryou. Canyourunitindoors?

    Wear earplugs tolisten toyourbreathing. Thenestablished a routine tobuild tolerance. Goeasy everyday witha few yards until youcanruna mile without anyproblems,thenconcentrate tobuild up yourpace andspeed whileincreasing yourbreathing.
    Goodluck

    Well thefirst step ofallsteps istraining,youhavetowork you’re way up fromwhereyoucurrently are.

    Next,thebest technique istobreathe inyournose andout yourmouth,itssuppost tosave energy towhereyoudon’t lose yourbreathe often.

    Finally,don’t putallyourpower ofrunning onthesteps foot afterfoot,formepersonally i take each step wheni need it(likeflying intheair thenwheni need ittaking mynext step).

    Hope i helped…
