  The running Chat will give learners the opportunity to discuss all things involved in the Running project.The discussions will be about different activities on the running project.From running methods,running training and feelings towards running.How also to prepare for your first race!

Training and preparation is over. Now it's nearly race time. Before the race, look up averages for 5K finishing times. Figure out where you fall and aim to line up where you think you would fit. Usually 5Ks are small and they don't really start in waves, but you don't want to start at the front of the pack if you really belong in the middle. You don't want to feel discouraged with all the faster runners passing you. On the other hand, don't put yourself in the back if you are faster. Fighting to make your way to the front can be tiring.

About fifteen minutes before the start, warm up. Run an easy quarter mile, stretch, hydrate. You want to be ready to run at your racing pace right at the start. As you line up, breathe. Relax. The fun part starts soon.

Once the race starts, find a competitor. Silently pick a person that seems to be running your pace. Now stick to them and make sure they don't get too far away. If they wind up being to slow, pass them and move on to the next. Too fast? Let up and find someone closer to your pace. Chances are, having this person next to or slightly in front of you will motivate you to run a little bit faster and a little bit harder. I cut nearly two minutes off my best time during a race because of this. Focus on your breathing and your pace and run. It'll be over before you know it.  Remember to push for that last sprint at the end!
