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.

Go for walks, jogs, and runs. But dont out tire yourself. I mean just get into shape and you wont have to worry. But in track there isnt just running. There is jumping and throwing. So practice jumping hurdles or high jumps and then practice throwing heavy things. Good luck with it

pratice stuff that will help you with your running, or example try doing sprints try doing something called 16-60, it's used for trainin in basketball, and it means that you ave to run from side line to side line, on a basketball court, 16 times in 60 sec and if you don't make it you do it again even more try just playing basketball, i have a friend who plays basketball and his like in mad shape he ran 2000 meters in 7 min and 24 sec or try to go swiming.

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!

You should play DDR. Go to an arcade and play it and you'll get better, and move up. It make you step a lot and it's just like running except it's more fun, and you can see if you're getting better. I've played that and now I rarely get tired when running!
I think in the Home Version, if you go on workout mode, it tells you how many calories and how many miles you've run, but maybe it's in the arcade version too.
Hope I helped!
