Answer 2

depends on what event you specialize in

if you are a sprinter for mid distance such as 400 or 800 you would specialize in doing longer work outs
If you are shorter distance sprinter such as 200 or 100 you do shorter workouts.

You should do the same intensity of workout at each of the distances though if not more for the shorter.

You should do a warm-up, say 800 meters or so [10 minutes jog just to warm you up]
Then do a couple of stretches [5-10 minutes]
Drills are nice [10-20 minutes]
Then start your workout [alternate between running for time and running for a certain distance; if you're running for distance, practice running at least 50 if not 100 meters more than your event's distance so you have more energy]

The workout should be at least 30 minutes. Alternate between hard days and easy days. If you're a sprinter, you would also want to spend time in the weight room lifting weights because arms are very important when it comes to running. If you haven't gotten good running form then you should practice it whenever you have free time, spend 5 minutes in front of a mirror practicing perfect arm swings and whatnots.

Answer 3

Whatever you do, don't do static stretches before running, as a warm-up. Statis stretches are like touching your toes, standard calf stretches, and all that. It's a common myth that these improve performance and reduce injury.

You should do dynamic stretches before activity. Such stretches are leg raises to the front, side, and back.

Static stretches are good, but should be done at the end of activity, not before it, as they have no benefit before activity, can fatique muscles, and actually increase risk of injury.

Check out a book called Stretching Scientifically by Thomas Kurz, for more information.

Good luck.

Answer 4

A good strength and conditioning plan will include both high-rep, low-weight exercises and low-rep, high weight exercises. The amount of each depends on what part of the season you are in. This is known as periodization.




For example, in the early off-season, doing three sessions a week of higher reps, lower weight will build muscular endurance. Towards the end of the off-season, substitute a day of low-rep, higher weight sets to start building power. In the early season, six weeks or so before meets start, sprinters should increase these power sessions to twice a week. When the competitions start, switch to one or two sessions a week of medium-weight, medium reps in order to maintain your strength gains.




It is a good idea for your family or your team to consult with a strength and conditioning specialist in your area to develop a plan, and ensure you are using safe exercise technique.

Answer 5

First of all warm up then stretch. for about 10-15 minutes (prevent pulling muscles/injury.
Then run 3-4 sets of your event at 1/2 speed
Then run 3-4 sets at 3/4
Then run2-3 at full speed.
Then cool down with a light jog and stretch again.
