How can you improve on the distance you run?

How can I run faster for track?

  • I do track and field at my school and as of right now I'm doing long distance/hurdling. The problem is, every time I start to run for a long time I always feel like I'm going to faint, I get dizzy, and I ALWAYS get a mucus like feeling at the back of my throat, especially running cramps - however I have never stopped running because of it, I always keep going but one of these days I'm afraid I'm just going to break down in the middle of the track. I'm not overweight, I have done other sports, so I don't know what the problem is. I have track everyday after school and I even have a game on Monday - how can improve? Would jogging outside of track and school around my neighborhood help? Thanks in advance !

  • Answer:

    That simply means you're approaching anaerobic threshold. You may need to hydrate well before a practice. Slime in the throat could be pollen. It is spring after all. Throw in an LSD run on the weekend (Saturday) at a do-no-harm pace and enjoy the day. Don't push. Rest on Sunday. If your regular track workout is a total of 3 miles then your LSD run should be around 4-5 miles. This will improve your baseline endurance. It will give you a solid base for building your anaerobic endurance. OR you could do interval workouts. E.g. 10 minute jog. 8x400 at race pace +5. 5 minute cool down. This will build your anaerobic endurance.

Do endurance training at the gym. Run for XX minutes walk for 2-5 run for XX more minutes than rest. Keep doing this every day (or whenever possible) at the gym Also, Make sure to eat something or drink something prior to running. Don't make the Food to heavy (like steak or anything ) But somthing like a sandwich and drink some water before your race. Hope this helped :)

You should buy ankle weights . Run with them around your neighborhood for 30 mins a day and then when you run without them in track , you'll be faster because you don't have that excess weight on you weighing you down .
