Thanks :) that means a lot to me! I have been a varsity runner for all four years of highschool. I don’t train obsessively off season because I play tennis and am pretty occupied with school. I weight train every other day (in gym) but we lift and squat. I do a TON of abs (because your core is what holds you together). Other than that, I got on jogs, and workout with a few other track athletes. We run hills or stairs. Then the track season starts and everything gets WAY harder. I do Blogilates workouts a lot too (look that up on youtube) :) Thanks again
You stutter step cuz you’re afraid you wont get your correct lead leg over the hurdle…
You need to approach the hurdle at full speed, and you also must practice alternating legs in practice, cuz it will happen one day when your steps are off, and you dont wanna slow down to stutter step…trust me, it’s better to hurdle with the leg that reaches the hurdle first than stutter step…because every millisecond counts! Practice spacing the hurdles closer together, knowing that during a race your stride will be a little longer, and then move the hurdles farther apart. Eventually you will get used to, and confident enough, to hurdle anything at any speed at any distance.
creeping is allowed haha. don’t worry! YES that would be awesome! Were in CSL league for conference or something. i have no idea actually.. BUT IT WOULD STILL ROCK
Im from Chicago (suburb) i run for Glenbrook North High School. Awesome!! Those are my races (I think I should try out an 800 as well)

well, most of those events can be helped by working the leg, butt, and core. I think that you should try some cross training (some cardio, muscular workouts [both endurance and muscular workouts]). Running uses almost all of your muscles, so work on overall fitness. once you get to season , each event coach will help you get in better shape and telly you more specific workouts :) hope this helped a little
Awe :3 that means so much to me, Thanks! You can search my events on my page under pr’s but I run 200 and 400 opens and relays :)
Of course! Okay so the first thing I want to address is the fact that you said you need to start a diet. Instead of this, I am going to suggest you not go on a full out diet rather limit your portions and watch what foods you eat. One great way of also being conscious of the foods you eat is by using my fitness pal. It’s an app or online. You can log your food intake :) secondly. 16 days is actually more than you think. It should take about a week for your times to drop or to gain new muscle. I’d suggest going for a run every other day and then working muscles in between. A great fun way to get toned also is by using a great video tutorial. It’s name is “blogilates”. You can YouTube her. I have been following her videos for almost 5 months now and they really do help. Good luck with your season. I hope this helped :3
