* If you aim for long distance running, then it is advisable not to run too fast at the initial level. Rather, you should run your first few miles at a slow pace.
* If you want to get faster, then run two to three times per week at a faster pace. But, if you'll try to run at a steady pace every time, it won't really help you in becoming a good runner.
* If on some day, you feel tired or lazy doing fast running, then there is no harm going in for slow pace running. Rather it will help to restore your energy, to perform a quality workout the next day.
* Experts who lay down guidelines for long distance runners always suggest that you should drink plenty of water throughout the day whether you are feeling thirsty or not.
* There is a need to give your body a minimum of two days rest, so as to charge up your energy level for the next workout session. Prefer taking rest on the next day of your long running.
* When it's the time to start off your new season running workout, focus on increasing your mileage base, rather than going in for fast pace running.
