I think this might be a case of an intersting phenonemenon, practice swimmers.  These are the people that can do a thousand set at 85% of their maximum speed and blow by many other people.  The other kind of swimmer is the race swimmer.  This swimmer doesn't know how to swim at 85% of their max speed.  They swim at 100% and about 40%.  These swimmers are often called lazy by their coaches and those practice swimmers.  The racer's 100% is usually faster than the practicer's 100%.  And the racer can usually swim at 100% for about 100 meters while the practicer can only do it for about 10m although they can swim at 85% for 6000.  \n\nSo before anyone gets cocky because they can lead 8x200 on the 2:05, remember that the only 200 that counts is the ONE on race day.  And the people that sit 3rd or 4th in your lane are usually the people that win that ONE.

Making yourself faster is tough. The best thing to do is to concentrate on quickness rather then long distances, build up your resperatory system so that you can move quicker. Try doing "turn" drills and when you do run sprints, which you will need to do, work on extending your stride, not matter how short or tall if you can use every inch of your leg length and move your legs faster, that will make you a faster runner

I am a vertically challenged and was always told \n\n"the bigger they are the harder they fall"\n\nAlso \n\n"know your victim, as they may run faster than you" \n\nI have proven this to be very true, and have decked a few people, who thought they were bigger and better than me, and guess what they do fall heavier too. I guess they did not know I was a runner, and a ruby player hehehe.\n\nAnother is "if you can't beat them, join them"

Get the "I don't give a fuck attitude", and just know that you're better than everyone else... and believe in yourself. I hated speeches, but this has helped me... haha... It's ok if it's a bit conceited.

Take the high road each and every time.  If you succumb to these rumors, you will have lost already.  If you come across someone who's acting weird or evasive probably because of these rumors, ask them straight out and persuade them to talk about it ("perhaps you've heard something about me?...) in a non-confrontational manner.  Tell them that you would be more than happy to clear it up and would entertain their queries which you would appreciate because it's something that you could respond to having been said to your face. If you know who started the rumors, you can do this same tactic also.  This usually makes them apologetic because they can't take full frontal frankness.

u cant overtake the person in last place!!! the guy is last, you can't pass him... if he's last, and you're behind him, that means you're not in the race...\nnice one!

If you are running a fixed distance the only way you can get a better time is to run faster.  You are stuck with the equation that time equals distance divided by speed.  So, whatever you can do to increase your speed will lower the time it takes.

sit down with them and tell them. or write a letter. that is what i did. it is easyer than having to say it.

The best strategy depends on who you are running against. Against runners that sometimes go out to fast and then wear down late in the race, a fast start would be best to push them past the pace they want to run at. Against more disciplined runners, staying near the front and making your move late would probably work better, although you need to know how early you can start to make that push through your own training. Then again, do you run better at the front of the pack or following the lead pace? If it makes a difference to you personally, go with what makes you most comfortable. Sorry not to give you a set answer, but the right answer is different for every different runner and for every different race ... you just have to find the path that works best for you.

try this; start with spell checker when writing! A step towards slowing down. Then tell yourself at least 2x a day, "what I have to say is more important than how fast I say it. I find most people who talk too fast are afraid that others won't listen to what they say or feel others talk too much for them to get a chance to say something. Consentrate on having something worthwhile to say. Try practising in the mirror each day. Then try reading into a recorder & play back until it sounds right. Do these things until you get the results you want & you notice people listen to what you say & most of all understand what you say. You can do it. Believe it!

Take the high road.\nDon't bother being petty and drawing negative attention to yourself.\nProve that you are the better person by NOT reacting to what they say and/or do.

dude, i have the same problem! you've gotta psyche yourself out. you probably already tried it but, set your clock 20 mins. ahead and try to forget that it is.\nOR, what always works for me.....hitch a ride with a coworker that is always on time.....that'll make you hussle so you don't make them wait for you outside. Then it would be being rude to theat person.

Just ignore them; they are just trying to get attention. Keep playing at your level.

use extra speed and use more energy at the start

run jog walk, use the treadmill. do the "bicycle": lye on your back and move your legs (above ground) the way you would move a bicycle. it works. you can even bicycle against someone with their feet against yours.

Why would you even consider stooping to their level.  You're bigger and better than that.  Just let them be.  And the remember the saying "The wheel Turns" - w/o you doing anything...one day down the line...something bad will happen to them too...it might be tomorrow, or 10 yrs from now...just rest assured that it will happen
