      Don't be dumb and burn yourself out at the beginning. You should be able to keep about 2m behind the leader, and then "turn on the jets" about 200m before the finish line. Don't train for the race, train for both the race and the sprint at the end. Do 100m through 300m sprints every other practice session so you won't get burned out during the race (especially if others decide to "turn on the jets" at the end also)!

      Don't waste all of your energy in the beginning of a race (unless it's a sprint like 100 m, 200 m, or 400 m) and don't get too far ahead. You could easily waste all of your energy and get a lower placing.

      For distance running do not wear spikes! Get a comfortable and lightweight pair of running shoes and break them in before you race; never race in new shoes.
