Tips on Running Track

I have spent my entire life around track and field. Ever since I was a little girl, I loved running and being around the running community. Two things I love most about track and field are that there are so many different events to try and be good at, you just have to find the right fit. The other is how much of an individual sport it is. You can’t rely on a team to finish your race, or jump over the bar for you, or throw farther for you. The work you put into it is what you are going to get out of it. That being said, the first two pieces of advice I would give you about running track are number one to try everything to find your fit. Number two, put the work into whatever you choose and it will show in your performance. There is a lot to be said for natural ability and those people who are natural athletes, but you would be surprised how much more you can accomplish with hard work. Remember that it takes time to master anything, so be patient, keep working hard through every season and it will show.
