I want to be a mid-distants/sprinter runner

Question

I might not do cross country this season cause running 3 miles doesnt really appeal to me any more. Since ive never liked distants that much how could i become a mid distants/sprinter? like excersises, lift weights, workouts, drills etc

Answer 1

I agree with Dave.  I ran XC but I didnt really enjoy it, i was just decent at it.  Its good training for track.

Look at running the 400 (mainly a speed race)

800m is fun (Speed, but also guts)

1600 (Some speed, and endurance)

Answer 2

Running cross country is the best training for track season. The end.

Answer 3

lots of 400 meter runs..lots of interval training..running up a building with LOTS of stairs..the only weight lifting you should do is curls with dumbbells
