How could I start running to train for the track team?

Question

Also how do I find out what am I good at when it comes to running. I mean how do I know what I should run I am not slow and I am not the fastest thing. But I plan to run winter track as well as sping I would run cross country but the only problem is that I am new to the school this year and I didn't know when cross country started but its too late now.

Answer 1

if you could u could ask to be on the team and just say u didnt know when it started and start running with them

if not... i'd start by running by yourself or with a group and start off slow and then pick it up and add distance like have one day thats 2 miles then 3 then 2 then 4 or something also practice sprinting things and if u dont like one do the other theres also field events which here are long jump (jumping into the sand) high jump pole vault and shot put and discs you could also try those and for which one ur good at i'd go with the one that u like the most but u can normally be in 3 or4 events at a meet! so have fun!

Assuming that where you live, you're still on Summer break. I don't think its too late. Try calling the school or coach. What you might want to do is go easy every other day, and hard the other days

Stretches, some yoga etc...                                          

Day 1: Hard: Tempo Run/ or Fartlek      

Day 2: Easy: 25-30min        

Day 3: Hard: Hills                        

Day 4: Easy        

Day 5: Rest  

Day 6: Long Run

Day 7: Rest

And weightlifting after the runs.

That's pretty much the workouts my CC team has done this past week.

If you don't already have shoes visit a "Running shoe store" in your area.

Cheap shoes = painful injuries

every persons feet is different
