DON'T slack off in your practices!

Slacking off in your practices can really make a huge difference. You might think that you're already good and since you did well in your last race, you'll do the same or even better. That's not the way it works for running. You need to be giving 110% at practice just ensure that you maintain where you are at. It is very easy for you so slow down in a race after a week of slacking off. Have fun in your practices but don't slack off.
