advice

Next year I will be trying out for V. track at my middle school. How can I prepare for running miles besides just practicing running? (I mean, keeping on course with my breathing, etc.) Thanks.

I was going to try out for track at my middle school, and they gave us a paper that said all of the things that we need to do to get ready for it. I'll just type what it says on the paper:

This is a basic overall conditioning workout. This workout should be completed in the order listed, at least 3 times a week. Before you begin the workout, warm up and stretch. Conditioning helps avoid injury, and will allow you to practice during the season without getting too sore if you follow this workout.
WEEK 1: jog 1 mile, sprint the last 100 meters.
WEEK 2: jog 1.5 miles, sprint the last 150 meters.
It is very important that you have fun as you work through the workout and try to challenge yourself.

After each workout, please end with these "Strider Exercises."
LUNGES: 30 meters-keep back straight don't bend too low
HIGH KNEE SKIPS: 30 meters, thrust knee high.
PUSHUPS: 10-15 reps - 3 sets.
SINGLE LEG JUMPS: 3 sets - 5 hops.
CRUNCHES: 2 sets of 30.
CALF RAISES: 2 sets - 25 each leg.
SQUAT STAR JUMPS: 2 sets - 15 jumps.
JUMP TUCKS: 3 sets - 10 jumps.
SPRINTS: 3 sets of 40 meters.
SLIDES: 2 sets of 25 meters.

End with a slow cool down jog/walk and STRETCH!!

So those are some good exercises that you can do to prepare you for track. If you want something that I did... I walked around my block, then when I felt I was ready, I would run as far as I could *dont push yourself too much* and then I would walk again. Just do as much as you can each day. Push yourself a little farther every day, and soon you won't have trouble breathing, and you will stay really fit.

So good luck!
