hi.
has anyone experienced the feeling of being held back when in a race. The best way to describe it is if you imagine someone has got you on a bungie cord. You try to increase pace within your capabilities but you can't. The 100 meters from finish line, the cord is suddenly cut and away you go for a sprint finish. I know the sort of pace that I am capable of but can't increase to it.

Which hurts first? Breathing or legs? It must be one or the other. If breathing, regulate your breathing and work on increasing your vo2 max (I think altitude training and hill runs are good for that but Google it). If legs then it's just a question of increasing mileage and frequency of runs (but don't go too far too soon).
If nothing hurts then it's a mental problem and you CAN go faster, you just aren't.
