Track and Field,?

Question

I have track and field in one month, and practice starts on Monday. I still maintain a health body weight, and I am still thin, however I have gotten out of shape. I used to be really fast and healthy, and still am but not as fast. I don't jog, because there aren’t sidewalks, so what are some fun ways to get my speed back, as well as any other tips for how to get back into shape.

The events I take place in are

100m

200m

Long jump

Triple jump

Shot put

Any helpful advice would be greatly appreciated!

Answer 1

I'm on my high schools track team so I'll try to help you out.

-First off you need a lot more then a month to shape up and get in tone with all those events. (I've been train since late February and my first meet was last week)

-You don't need a side walk to jog, go to a park or jog on the side of the street

-You should consider dropping a few events

------->TRAINING<-------

-->Warm up

-Start as soon as possible

-Start of with your jog around the block for a warm up

-Stretch...look up some should takes about 20-25 mins

-Do drills...(high knees, heel kicks, etc. look some up) [should take about 15 mins

-->Workout

- Seems like you a sprinter you need to ask your coach to set up workout schedule or you can make your own. For example (something soft since your starting up).

- 5, 100m at [70%] 8, 80m at [70%] and 6, 60m at [70%]

This is just an example of a work out you can add different distances and change intensities.

-->Cool Down

- After you main work out jog a cool down...about 600m jog

Then your work out is done.

As for  long jump however you going to have to have the proper facility ad training, I'm beginning mine.
