by Larry EderThe 2019 track indoor season is under way, 119,000 high school boys and girls run indoor. The indoor season ends mid March. The outdoor season will have just over 956,000 boys and girls in high school competing.
To be successful in the long season, one must make both goals and focuses. If you want to do well outdoors, the indoor season is a short, focused season, pretty much fitness tests. That is the approach here. For 800m to 5000m, we will train the same in January, and in February, we will begin seperate workouts.
We suggest core work twice a week, and some alternative training. Warm ups and cooldowns are essential when running fast. Long runs should have cooldowns after.
Make sure you get good training shoes and track spikes.
