I was wondering what the best spikes for sprinting would be if you have flatter feet. I tried a Superfly Elite 2 and that made me feel unbalanced. Help!

I run the mile and I practice 6 days a week should I still do leg day twice a week

My little brother is a freshmen and wants to do throwing in the spring for track in field. I’m trying to convince him to hit the gym with me to get his body and strength in shape before the season starts. Every time I ask he always gets mad at me but that’s how little brothers are. When I was his age I was overweight and didn’t start working out until junior year. I just don’t want him to be in my position and also want him to succeed. I just don’t wanna be the jerk brother who forces him to the point where he doesn’t want to do it anymore. I already graduated and I’m trying to convince him that once high school is over there are gonna be things you regret if you don’t put in the work. Any big brothers out there got advice or what I should say?😂

So my xc season is nearly over and I was getting ready to start preparing for outdoor season (I don’t do indoor) and I was wondering what I should do lifting wise during the winter (and during the spring if it should be different)? Rn I only have access to kettlebells and dumbbells so I can’t do anything else for the present moment. If anyone knows the type of lifts I should do and how much that would be great

Ingrid Kristiansen's 2:21.06 stood forever. Then it got broke.

Paula Radcliffe's 2:15.25 stood forever. Then it got broke.

Each time, once the "impossible record" was gone, the floodgates opened.

No one could have known that a 2:21 record broken in 1999 would become a 2:15 record by 2003. Equally, no one could have known that a 2:15 record broken in 2019 would become a 2:09 record by 2024. I really really hope I'm making sense but I know exactly what I'm trying to say.

As for the shoes, I dare say similar (although probably not as generous) advances could be found in shoe technology between 1985 and 2003 meaning Paula probably had better running gear than Ingrid did in 1985. Personally speaking, and as a fan of this sport since 1992, I'm happy that the women's marathon world record is probably where it should be in 2024.

Does anyone have any tips to prepare for a track meet? (Mostly for sprinters/hurdlers) Some questions I have are:

• What are some drills/stretches I should do at a meet
• How long should I warm up for and how long before my event
• How should I change my training in the week upcoming to the meet

Would appreciate any other basic tips for track meets. Thank.

Hi, I'm a mid distance runner (400, 800, and mile), and I'm really confused on what spikes to choose. I'm looking at the Victory 2 Blueprints, or the Dragonfly/Dragonfly elites. What would be better for that general range? Thanks!

I am from northern Virginia, and virtually all high schools here make cuts for track and cross country. Swimming, wrestling, football, tennis, and so on all are hard to join. There isn't any no-cut sports here.

I have track tryouts coming up in about a month and a half and I outgrew my old shoes I was using last year and I was wondering if I could get some opinions for what I should wear for this season.

Cohen won the 800m title for Virginia in sub 1:45 fashion with an insane kick. He was running D2 for three years at Tampa University. He ran two personal bests at the Olympic Trials this year (1:44.65), and finished 6th in the final.

The silver medalist from this years World U-20 Champs holds PBs of 10.29 over 100m and 20.60 in the 200m. He turns 17 at the end of December. This pro contract rules him out of NCAA. Thoughts?

I'm a beginner to track (started doing it in August) and my coach said I should consider getting spikes. I have done a bit of research but I am still stumped on a few things like the size, the type of spike I get, where I get them from and a few different things.

What are the best spikes for me? I do 100m, 200m and 400m primarily. I am usually a size 9 when it comes to running shoes (and casual shoes) and I just want to know which one you guys would recommend me to get and why.

Thank you in advance!

Many times win I run outdoors My eyes stream w/ aqua not tears My nose also gets runny, pun intended Do I need to go to a doctor? Is this normal?

Question for t/ REAL runRs 😇

Hello, some quick info. I am a collegiate athlete in my 2nd year ever participating in the sport. I was formerly a football player, and due to this my ankles got very worn down over the years. I suffered another ankle injury at the end of last track season and am just getting back to 100% of the last couple weeks.

I always had my ankles taped during football for the extra support and it helped quite a lot, so my question is would this be viable for track? It felt very good to do everything while taped on the field, but I was wondering if there would be any negatives to this from a track standpoint. My main event is the Long Jump, but I compete in the 60m/100m as well.

What are your goals this week? Could be for a meet or for your training.
