Training for Track?

Question

I am in Junior high and need to improve my endurance for track I have good speed when sprinting but on the longer runs I seem to tire quickly, What are some things I should do? Just simply run 1 or 2 miles a day?

Answer 1

just run for long distances everyday. also work in some stairs or bleachers

Answer 2

if you are bad at long runs simple do long runs

a long run is not 1 or 2 miles but more like 4 or 5 +

my advice would be to join cross country this fall and that will definitely give you the aerobic training you need

Answer 3

It really depends on what you are running: sprints or long distance.  Long distance, I'd run more than 1 or 2 miles a day.  train for a marathon.

If sprints, I'd work strengthening my legs.  You'll want to use heavier weights and less reps.  this builds maximum strength, but be careful not to hurt yourself.

Answer 4

yeah running per day is important! improving your overall strength is also! my trainer for track makes me do lots n lots of cardio work!

Answer 5

That was the most effective method for me. Running long distances over and over trains your muscles and mind. Running becomes relaxing after a short while of doing it. I hated running until I ran cross country in high school. All of a sudden it was a great release and I got pretty good at it

Answer 6
