Need help to break 1600m middle school track record?

Question

Track season starts April I haven't started training yet cuz I don't kno what to do to improve my time I'm goin into 8th grade and during my 7th grade year my best 1 mile time was a 5:16 with no training and the record is 4:56, any help?

Answer 1

Run atleast 5 or 6 miles every day. I do that and I have all the records in my middle school. Do 1 hard workout every week like run 300 meters all out. Do atleast 6 of them with a 1:30 minute rest. That will toughen you up and it will help you give it all youv'e got at the end. Swim half a mile after you run. Also ride your bike a lot because it gets you faster in sprinting. Do a stair master like 2 or 3 times a week. 1 other thing on your runs go on a hilly course 2-3 times a week and that will get you stronger. Good Luck! I think you will.

Answer 7

if you want to increase speed do plyometrics. these help train your fast-twitch muscle fibers. also run more than a mile, ever day. since you are training to do the 1600m, maybe 2-3 miles @ 6:00 min pace for hard days. and 4 miles @ 10 min pace for easy days. also do strides, which mimic sprinting motions, but are at a normal running pace, to help train your muscles.
