Posted by admin | Under acai berry diet Saturday Dec 5, 2009

So, I’m actually going to be starting high school next year. Anddd I was thinking I’d try out for the track team. I’m a fast runner, but I don’t think I’m all that fit. Suggestions on exercise and dieting?
And yes, Ill ignore any answers that include “acai berry” and weird weightloss programs xD

well since track is not till next spring for you why would you train a year and a half ahead.. usually the first 2 weeks of practice is just geting all of our butts in shape so you dont really need to worry about that,, and most schools sometime practice lightly the winter before spring. no one your age needs that long to get fit,, even kids in high school dont do much running before track unless they are on the cross country team so dont worry about it and i dont think your diet will affect your running preformance unless your diet is extremly bad.. ex, mc donalds for every meal… im a sophmore and i eat a lot of junk food but still hav the record for the 1500 at my school.. so i dont think that has a huge impact.. just make sure to drink lots of water. so i think youll be all right.. but why dont you do track at your middle school this spring just to see how you like it.
also there ar no try outs for track in high school.. there are time trials but that just seperates you into varsity, jv etc..
and not just at my high school ive moved a lot and have been two three

Everyday, go outside and jog halfway down some type of road or leading trail from the road to your house. Then, the next day jog halfway and run the next half. Then, on the next day you jog, run, and sprint. then eventually you will be able to sprint well. To keep your legs strong, you should find something good enough to kick. its kind of like kick boxing and you will kick as hard as you can like the object is someone you cannot stand. It’s also good to keep jumping as high as you can on the floor…. find some thing really hard to reach like the ceiling and keep jumping for it like 50 times. do it everyday… you should then RUN and jump to something high. you will then increase your leg strength and running skills in that excercise there. your welcome and good luck with the sport. track is very fun!
