If you wanna get faster for track, you should run around your block until you get tired, or run around a school track if theres one around you. I know from last year before track started we were supposed to run a mile everyday so we didnt get tired as easily and got faster. It doesnt make your legs huge, but seriously whats wrong with having calves?!? It shows your strong and maybe people wont mess with you! lol, hope I helped!! ~*Raven*~

Instead of doing weight workouts that make your muscles bigger, try strength workouts- like push-ups, sit-ups, squats, e.c.t. Running should not make the leg muscles grow huge either. DON'T DO WEIGHTS- THESE WILL DEFINITELY INCREASE MUSCLE SIZE. This way you will become stronger without muscles growing huge enough to notice without tensing. Try to eventualy work up to a timetable where you run at least 3 miles one day, work on speed one day (keep doing 30 second sprints)a hill sprint once a week (run at a strong pace up a steep long hill and jog slowly back down 10 times)and do an indoor strength workout once a week. For this I would reapeat 3 times a pattern of; 20 sit ups, 20 push ups, 20 squats, 20 step-ups, 20 leg raises (lie on the floor with arms by side and raise legs an inch or two of the ground. Hold for 3 seconds then let down. If you don't feel it, you are not doing it right), 1 30 second crunch (hold a sit-up in still mo. for 30 secondsd), 2 30 second side-crunches (each side 1 crunch). This may sound like alot but I can fit in this and alot more in my week. If you cannot do everything here then make it easier (like instead of a three mile run try a 2 or 1 mile run)or drop something.If you do all this you will have SUCH a good chance of winning track events and c-c. As I said before UNLESS YOU ARE IN PERFECT FITTNESS AND AN EXPERIENCED RUNNER, YOU MUST WORK UP TO THIS TIMETABLE OTHERWISE YOU RISK INJURY. Hope I helped, sorry its so long,

P.S if you have any more fitness questions I'd be happy to answer them.

Try flexibility exercises, cause they'll thin out and strengthen your legs, and also do arobic workouts, and yes, run, but not soooo long. Also, eat protein, and calcium and stuff, not foods that make you thin, cause they dont strnegthn anything.=)

ok well you cant "work out" if you dont want your muscles to get bigger...even if you run to get faster they will get bigger..but just run a lot..and pace yourself when you are

Hey hun,
I think you should start practicing by running or jogging. If you run, your ankles will become stronger to handle more running time ;). That will get your muscles built up. You can also use a treadmill that way you can control your speed. Make sure you stretch before you run, its not good if you don't because you can really pull a muscle and hurt yourself.
You could also start going to the gym. The way I keep shape now in my legs is to stretch every orning and night because I don't dance or cheerlead for right now. Stretching makes you limber and stronger :)
Hope I helped and good luck with track or crosscountry :)
