Learn About Track

Track is the sport I run to get faster and in shape for cross country. I know that's not the attitude that probably should be taken, but it is truly how I feel about it. I run on the distance team. There are a few major distinctions to track. If anyone says they run track you should ask them which of the following they do. The first is, as I've said distance. The second is hurdles which is sprinting over hurdles. the longest race being 300 M. Next is the sprint team. Their longest race is typically the 400 M. Then their are the field events. This category is split up into the throwers who throw the shot putt and Discus and into the jumpers who do the long and high jump.

I Run distance which means that I run anything from the 800M(.5 mile) to the 3200 M(2 miles). My specific events are actually those two. I run the 4 by 8 relay which is 4 runners each running and 800M, and the 3200 run. Track is a good way to see what skills you have, especially if you've never run or been in a sport before. You don't necessarily have to have experience in running to be good at it. Although I think It definitely helps.
