If you are strong in the group, you can speed up the first 400 meters and run at your own pace. You can adjust your breathing and physical strength when you run to 7000 to 9000 meters, and then gradually accelerate the sprint at the last 1000 meters. The reason why we have to run ahead is because as an athlete with good performance, we should not let ourselves be disturbed and affect our performance. If you are weak or confused about your own strength, you can take the following tactics. Try to bite the bullet and follow the team leader before 8000 meters, and don't be pulled too far, just 5 to 20 meters. But pay attention to the distribution of physical strength. People have an uncomfortable time between 1500m and 3000m, commonly known as "the gate of hell". If you survive this time, you will feel more relaxed. So during this time, you will bite the bullet and get through it. With your strong perseverance (because everyone will experience it), you will get good grades. In the last 2000m, if you can keep up with the leader, if you can't, encourage yourself to catch up with the previous one. If you feel that your physical strength can't keep up, you can sprint later, and you can rush if you feel ok. Good luck! I have participated in the10000m race three times. I hope my experience can help you.
