1000 m is a rather difficult distance, as it is fleeting and requires good speed training and endurance. To overcome it competently, it is important to observe some basic principles of preparation and running the race.
Instructions
Step 1
Concentrate on cross training. To successfully cover a distance of one kilometer, you need an excellent supply of speed endurance. Endurance comes only after tempo crosses and hard training in the stadium. That is, you do not just need to run 5, 7 or 10 km in 1 workout, but accelerate 300-500 m along the distance. There should be at least 5-7 of them. This is necessary so that the heart gets used to working to the limit. It will also help you accelerate during the competitive distance.
Step 2
Incorporate sprint stretches into your training routine. In addition to endurance, you will need acceleration skills, which will, in fact, consist of a distance of 1 km. Athletes do not wait very long in such a run, so you need to be ready for this. Run at least 200 m across the stadium, 10-12 times at a good competitive pace. Imagine all the time that you are finishing. Then the speed will increase several times.
Step 3
Warm up well before starting. Do a good warm-up on the eve of your race. It should consist of light jogging (1-2 km), general warm-up and special running exercises. Don't forget to do some good long-term accelerations of 60-100 m as well. Put on comfortable shoes and get ready to start the race.
Step 4
Stick to a specific strategy. After the start signal, do not rush to immediately lead the crowd of runners, expecting to leave the start. It is almost impossible to do this, since you will meet the wind, which will lead to very quick fatigue. Do not rely on this step, even if you are confident in your abilities.
Step 5
Keep approximately in the middle, as it is very difficult to attack from the very "tail". After about 500-600 m, get close to the leading group. It is advisable to start the finishing acceleration 200 m before the end of the race. Give all your best, and do not let yourself go around the inner radius. If you did everything right, you will have a great chance of winning.
