It's hard to just one day wake up and say "Hey, I want to run in a track meet...sign me up." It takes hard work and dedication to prepare for meets. Depending on what you are training for, a season could be up to eight to 11 months long.
Our first week of training at FAU was difficult. You don't hit the track the second you start to train. We stay off of the track and practice in the grass to make sure to protect your shins and legs from injury. We don't start off with speed either, we do endurance and distance runs.
This is how we warm up:
- Jog 2 laps on the inside of the track, on the grass
- 4 striders (100 meter accelerations)on the grass
- 40 minutes intense stretching
