i am in 9th grade moving to georgia and i want to join the track team in the high school i am going to go to when i move
how many laps do they normally make you run?
i can do about 9-10 laps no problem (without going home, or nurse, or passing out)
how many laps do you need to do in track?
what type of running do you really do and do they make you run till you pass out?

I am going to my first high school track meet this saturday, and it'll be my first time to race against the seniors and all in track. I dont exactly know what to expect, and I'm hoping someone will drop a bit of advice to me.

I dont ever even practice the 2 mile, I practice the 3 mile. I'm more of a distance runner. I went out yesterday and tried a 2 mile to see what I could do, and I got a 12:30. I will be racing 1A and 2A schools, what should i expect? How should I pace myself? I'm unfamilliar with this distance.

Am I good enough to try and get 1-3rd place? Should I try to blow them all away from the 1st mile, and go for 1st place? Or should I try and stay in the pack and see what I have in the last laps?
Thanks a heap.

Alright. I am a16 year old, a junior in high school.
I was just wondering could any body provide me with a solution.
My times for that are:
100m- 11.3
200-m 23.5
I was just wondering if anyone has any advice for training to get faster.
Its kinda late in the season because its in the middle of the season.
But I want to get ready for districts.

So, could anyone help me with some training methods or techniques to do in those events.

It would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks.

I've noticed that a large proportion of the serious runners I see wear Asics shoes. I'm starting to jog and wonder if there's a good reason to buy these rather expensive shoes. Is it just runners' elitism, or does Asics really have some technology that bigger manufacturers like Nike & Adidas don't?

I've heard several stories of how people send their damaged (ie. sole coming off) shoes to NIKE, and they get a gift certificate for new nikes...

How about shipping? I guess I'd have to pay the $ to ship the shoes to them at first.

I live in southern California, in a very nice neighborhood. I've only ever heard of one problem around the neighborhood (some random guy who skipped bail), but otherwise nothing has /ever/ happened here.

So I want to go running around, up to my school, down to the store, etc, to train for track and simply for fun, but my parents won't let me. Even before the random incident I mentioned...somehow they've got it in their heads that I'll get kidnapped or something. I'm an only child and a 9th grade girl, but all my friends run and I want fresh air and interesting sights, not the treadmill my parents keep offering to buy me instead.

How can I convince them to let me run on my own?

So we've got a tradition on my high school cross country and track teams. It's called sexy monday- wear the most ridiculous running shorts around and a far too tight t-shirt emblazoned with "sexy" on the front and "monday" on the back during our interval workout, the hardest of the week.

where can i pick up a pair of shorts like these? has anyone come across any on-line?

i'm thinking the more colorful, the shorter, and the funniest looking the better. anything from a long time ago?

thanks!!!

Hey guyz, I've recently joined the track team on my team and I've been wearing my basketball sneakers to run with and they're just way too heavy and they're slowing me down and hurting me. My coach told me to buy running sneakers and I went out to buy them but I don't know which one to buy. People inside recommended me using the following sneakers;

asics GT-2120 from Duomax I think..
Air Max 360's
Nike Free
and the 992's from New Balance

which do you recommend me running with and if you guys recommend other sneakers, it would also be great.

Thank you.

We have travelled to Niketown and the Adidas shop only to find that they dont actually sell spikes (they didnt even know what they were!) - Most local specialist sports shops specialise in middle distance ones........
