Does anyone know any good conditioning training?

Question

I am trying to get faster and in better shape for track in high school. I am in 8th grade. Any ideas? PLEASE RESPOND ASAP.

Answer 1

Im on a track team now what you should do is every now and then go to the weight room. Then on weekends go on 30 or 45minute runs with a group of people. ALso do a lot of situps, pushups, and squats.

Answer 2

BR gave a great answer i'll just add that you should do a VERY light workout the day before a meet so you can rest. oh yes, off season if you want to change it up then you can bicycle, it really can build your leg muscles

Answer 3

It all depends on what even you want to run. If you are a miler I would recommend doing speed work and endurance work. IF you have easy access to a track i would do a track workout on mondays (400x6 or 400,600,800,600,400,200,200) tuesday go for an easy recovery run (30 mins easy) wednesday do a 3 mile tempo run at 30 seconds slower than goal pace for the 1 mile thursday another easy recovery day (30 mins easy) and friday do a long run 5-7 miles. This work out will help you with the speed and endurance needed to be a competitive track runner. Good luck.

Oh yea and NO ELLIPTICAL it will not help running!!!
