I went to watch a track meet and fell in love with the sport. I just don't know if I can push myself to do it. But can I do it? To consider joining senior year when others have been in track all 3 years. I have no experience whatsoever. I'm about 5'4 and I dont know the appropriate weight to be at, and I'm not sure if in a year I will be any good if I start training now. I don't even know how to train, how many miles to run, I cant run, I can barely jog for awhile.or build up endurance. I'm not physically fit like most track runners and I wonder if it's possible to have a track runnner body within a year. is there any tips I can get?

1. Yea you can do it. the whole age/expirience thing is not really a big factor.

   Start training now. Either go get a personal trainer, or ask the person who runs your school's gym to help you get started. (beware…lots of trainers out there are crappy).

   You may want to get in shape, or you could bulk up and become a thrower.

   If you want to do long distance, then do miles. If you want to be a sprinter, then you do sprints…after you get in shape. Run miles or do w/e to get in shape, and once you are then you start doing sprints. Heres a workout I did a few times, not too hard

   100m, 200m, 300m, 300m, 200m, 100m.

   Take however much break in between, and only do it once you're in shape.

   Have fun!

2. Go for it!!!

   It's worth the experience. If you get determined you will most definitely progress.

   It's your last year and you haven't done it before. That doesn't mean you shouldn't do it! It means you should. This is your last chance. Even if you don't do as well as you want (which, if you are determined, you will do excellent), you will still have done something that you won't be able to do after high school. Enjoy it while you can. Do everything you can. It's your last year!

3. The great thing about running is that you can always compete against yourself to get better. You can do it. Just join the team…you may surprise yourself at what you can do. Your coach should help you ease into the workouts, and your teammates will help encourage you…you'll probably make some good friends, too. Go for it!

4. it's possible to have a runner body in a year if you run half an hour eveyday without walking. if you can do so you can be a distance runner. but if you want that method to work you can't eat sweets or fry foods for about a year. I did.
5. Hey, if you like it, go for it! It's never too late to try something new. You just never know. You will need to start running and build up endurance though. Start out easy, like 2 or 3 miles, and then work your way up to more. Anyone can improve in track. It just takes hard work. Good luck!
6. I started my senior year as well. I was 5-5 122lbs. I just tried it. It is definetely worth the experience. I started running my mile at 6:50 and my best time by the end of the season was a 5 min mile. Track is an individual sport for the most part. I would run this shedule: mon: 2m tues:3m wed:7m th:2m fri: rest and sat:7-9m
7. be LEAN and lightweight!

   Make sure you can easily run a few miles or so without stopping.
