PERSONALLY, I have not under-trained for a race. yet!
I suppose you could use under-training in a different sense to. As in...right now I am under training to run a half marathon...you know...when you hear something is under construction only it's under training...No...well I tried!
Apparently there is an under-training syndrome as well as an over-training syndrome...under training is found when people lack consistency, intensity, frequency and progression. I agree with this assessment, if you are not consistent with your training you might as well go home. You have to increase your intensity to see progression happen...you know the old saying, if you always do what you've always done...Yup 'nuff said.
So in summary, get out there and be consistent, increase the frequency and intensity of your workouts, and make sure that you are progressing toward your ultimate goal or time. Blessings to you all, may sun shine on your faces and joy be in your hearts.
Godspeed...this comes from the Middle English expression "God spede (you)", a wish for success and fortune for one setting out on an enterprise, voyage, adventure, or travels. It may also mean good luck.

I wish I could run. I have ankle problems that make it difficult, alas. That being said, I haven't given up yet LOL Going to try a couch to 5k program (again) this summer and see how it goes. *fingers crossed*.
