What kind of shoes? tips for track?
We can't have spikes, and i found a really good pair of shoes online and i'll just take the spikes out. Can I have some advice on what I need to know for track? Like tips? I'm in middle school, so nothing major but any reccomendations for events?

In addition to the other answer, I would recommend drinking throughout the day in class if you're allowed. During my cross country season we were allowed to bring water to class to stay hydrated because we had some really tough practices and meets. I can't stress what a huge difference this made for me... I drank a couple bottles of water before practice and had so much more energy! And I'm really bad at keeping hydrated, so this was a big deal for me. Also, running is an insanely mental sport. If you can harness your thoughts and make them constantly positive, you'll run better. Try coming up with a mantra for hard races or practice days when you just feel like giving up. I listen to Till I Collapse by Eminem because the intro is so motivating for me. Learn to love the pain that comes with running and you'll find that the run always gives more back than it takes away. Good luck & God bless.
I remember my track days.. that was how I was introduced to running :)

I was in track in middle and high school. The best tips I can give you, stretch before a run, eat healthy, drink plenty of fluids, and get plenty of rest, and give it your best. Running for at least 30 minutes a day can also really help improve speed and endurance in running. You can even swim to help with that as well. Also, don't go on a diet, because food is very important for cardio. When doing cardio *running, bike riding, anything really that involves a faster heart-rate in exercise* Food is needed for energy, energy is most needed in running. But yeah, as I stated previously, running even on days you don't have practice will help in speed and endurance with running. It's nothing to major, but it's something to help you. Besides, running is very healthy! You'll be making your heart stronger, and you'll also keep yourself in shape.
