In Track The First 25 Seconds Are Free; Go For It
Most super star runners in track know that the first 25 seconds are basically for free, so it makes sense even in a distance race to blast out of the blocks an extremely fast clip for the first 25-seconds and get that pole position. No sense in holding back and settling into a pace in the first 200 yards or so, you may as well go for it and take some of those precious seconds off your final time.You may think I am nuts when I say this, but I ran track for a number of years an indeed was a super star in both High School and College, even a bit before that.Read more…Lean Forward and Drive with the Arms: Combat Fatigue
Have you ever watched the end of a foot race like mile run, two mile run, 10K or Marathon? Boy I sure have, as after I would finish I would go back and watch the other runners finish and often cheer them on, although normally I would watch runners who I respected and see their fatigue and poor form.Sometimes these runners were in second place too.Read more…Running and Envisioning the Win in Track
It is interesting all the psychological studies on top performing athletes and often Olympic Track and Field stars are asked about their thoughts about winning. What I find so amazing is that all the top athletes say that they envision the win before the win. Indeed, I understand this concept and as a top runner athlete in High School and College, I can remember doing this, automatically without even thinking.Read more…High School Cross Country Training
Many youth and young adults go out for cross-country in high-school and this is a great sport indeed, as today so many kids are obese and those who run cross-country burn off so many calories that getting fat would be tough. But of course High School Cross Country Training is not easy and there are a lot of miles that must be pounded in order to stay efficient. Not everyone goes out for High School Cross Country because it does interfere with other sports that are also that time of year.Read more…Track and Field; The 800 Meter is a Two-Lap Sprint
It is interesting all the misconceptions in Track and Field, some people classify the 800 meter as a long-distance race? Not so I tell you, not even close. The 800-meter is an absolute high-performance race and it is more like a sprint than the 400 meter in fact.Read more…1-Mile Run and Lap 3 Considerations
For those superstar athletes in track and field who dare to go the distance the mile run is the most competitive and most difficult race from a tactics standpoint and an endurance standpoint. It is a battle of wills and strength of character in a competitive setting challenging the athletes desire to win over their threshold of pain. Still interested?Read more…Running the Mile Run
The toughest of all athletes in the world are not Football Players wearing pads and involved in plays for only 8-15 seconds. And the real athletes are not the baseball players who hit the ball as hard as they can or sit for most of the competition on a bench chewing tobacco products. The real athletes are not those who drive around in Golf Carts.Read more…Running and Setting the Pace at Top Speed
As a fellow runner athlete and track and field champion I can tell you I often laugh when folks discuss distance running and calling what we do in track and field distance running. Look distance running is a 10-miler or more, perhaps a half-marathon, marathon or ultra-marathon. In high school many might call the 800-meter, 1-mile or 2-mile run a distance race, but if you are running it at the top levels these are no distance races.Read more…Track, Running and Training to Win
When training for track in High School and College; if you are going to run anything longer than the 400-meter, then you are going to have to put on some heavy mileage or you cannot win. Many people in distance running and cross country will say that every day you take off you back a day in your training and whereas I personally have never subscribed to this, I do understand the principle and why coaches practice such speeches to their athletes.The coaches do not want you to miss practice and if you are ditching practice or making excuses then you are not serious about winning anyway and thus holding yourself back and hurting the rest of the team too.Read more…Running and Track Races; the Slingshot Sprint and Final Kick
If you are an athlete who competes in Track and Field and run the 200, 400, 800 meter or run the one mile run then you need to understand how to become one with the track to win. There is a point at which you are in oxygen debt and your body is taking all your oxygen it can to give it to your muscles. You brain still demands some, but you can tell that it ain’t getting much more than is necessary and certainly not enough to turn on a light bulb.Read more…Forth Lap 110 Meter Kick in the 1-mile Run
When running the mile run, one of track and fields toughest events where only the top athletes even dare to compete, you often come down to the end after putting your body thru just under four minutes of shear hell only to be faced with yet another challenge. That is right that last kick into the tape to take the victory.This is truly what separates the hard-core athletes from the top tiered best of the best.Read more…Deciding to Win in Advance in the 1-mile Run
Call it psycho-cybernetics, call it envisioning victory or just call it a pre-decision to win in advance; either way all the top athletes in all competition do it and do you know why? It works. Tiger Woods, Wayne Gretsky, Lance Armstrong all do it and freely talk about it.Read more…College and University Level Track; The Mile Run
Are you an athlete who competes in track and field? If so you maybe surprised that at the College and University level it is not much different than the Championship State Meets at the High School Level. I was quite surprised to find that most of the top high school athletes I competed against at the high school levels showed up on the rosters of the various Universities and Colleges, as many had been offered scholarships and taken them.Read more…The Modern Day Mile Run is a Sprint the Whole Way
So you are a mile runner and a good one I see and you have potential to be even better. Would you like to run a four-minute mile? Would you like to know how to get that done?Read more…10K Run and Saving for a Kick
Many long-distance runners and enthusiasts will go to a 10K competition to see how they can do in their age categories and they also want to do a good showing for family and friends and test out all their training and see how they do. This makes a lot of sense, as if you are going to run everyday and train for such then you want to put in a good run.It is rather evident when watching these runners do their Saturday 10K that they will hold back a little in the middle of their run and then save some for the last mile or half mile and some even the last quarter mile so they can come striding in and looking good to their family and friends.Read more…Tax Incentives Needed for Joggers
