Anonymous asked: What is the link to the contest blog?
journeytohealthiness asked: I have a ton of goals for track, which could be a good or a bad thing. I want to get my 3200 meter time down from 13:07 into the 12:50s or so; ultimately I'm looking for it to be like 12:30 but these things take time I suppose. In the 1600 meter run, I would really love a 5:45 at some point during the season. In addition, I want to beat the freshman that was on my cross country team who...
mortismorti asked: Just about that last 'you know you run cross country' my team had to be on a bus by 4:45 for a meet a couple times... Good times, truthfully. Haha.
xccris asked: Yeah! Too bad they are hard to come across. Got two whites, a yellow, and a black. Trying to finish off the collection.
beyond-pluto asked: sub 5 1500m would be nice, but i only have a 5.11 now. and 2.25 800m. both of those are outdoor goals of course, i'm only hoping for minor PBs indoors. i use Shay Saucony. Best spikes i've owned!
Anonymous asked: so i think i am an ok runner, in 7th grade for 2 miles i ran 11:54, 1500 5:09, and 800 around 2:30. lately, i havent been doing good at all and have been screwing up in all my races. i dont know why this has been happening, but i dont think i know how to push myself to the next level and become a better runner. I need advice on how to push my self and to stop screwing up? thank u so much.
Anonymous asked: WHAT I TAKE TO PRACTICE: well I use a nike duffel sports bag thing..i keep my running shoes, sunscreen, sports bra, gatorade, shorts, spandex, shirt, socks, and water, pads, and yeaaahhh thass about it. i think.
Hey guys!
I’m home from my prostart cooking competition.
We placed 5th out of 50 schools, we were kinda upset because we wanted first, but with us mixing up times and only having 45 min to do a meal because we started late and everyone else had an hour I think we did pretty damn good.
I’m really tired, and I have to unpack and do homework and stuff, so I’ll try to answer messages and...
Official Track practice began in Nevada today!!
Submit your favorite motivational running videos!! :)
dailylifeofakristen asked: My goal for this season it to break 17 in 100HH. I run in Brooks spikes and Asics trainers (I feel like I'm the only sprinter here...hah)

pocketsizedasian asked: my goal is to cut 10 seconds off my mile. and im determined not to let a freshman kick my ass haha. my spikes are asics Hyper-Rocketgirl SP 4 :)
mortismorti asked: Goal for my leg of the 4 x 800 2:06, 1600 4:55 (just so there is no question about breaking 5 minutes) And sub 11 minutes for the 3200. Senior year of track make it count! As for spikes I run in Nike Zoom victories, however when running the 3200 at home I use my Nike Zoom Waffle Racer 8 since our track sucks. Haha. Good luck everybody!!!
Anonymous asked: My goal is a 6:20 mile or lower! Kinda slowish compared to some of these:( but I run in puma mid distance spikes, not sure the model (its called felinethat something?) but they're bright orange:)
Keep running, don't stop because you always have...
faithful-euphoria asked: oh i meant nike lunar glides spikes, haha
lucsy asked: I'm planning on running the all the long distance and maybe some sprint. Still I haven't been running lately so I'm afraid it'll affect my running time. Still I want to get a good time. I'm going to be using my brand new spikes, so im all set. Track season starts this monday and I can't wait! I just want to start running again. :)
Anonymous asked: my goal is to run the 800 better than i ever did in middle school considering im a freshman now, & get really really good at shot put & discus ---- and i will be running in these spikes that are hot pink and yellow ! i dont know the name though/:
Sorry for raping your dash but just fyi I have no...

hidingfromtheeyesthatsee asked: I ran 3000m and 1500m in indoor track and i came 3rd and 2nd, and I'm going to compete in those categories at the provincial level, and my goal is to run my hardest!!
xccris asked: Nike Jasari or Nike Kennedy. Probably the Jasari's though because they have the most comfortable upper of any spike I have ever used. They are from 1998 but they are much more comfortable than Vics or Tumbos.
foreverperfectionist asked: goals: to qualify for state. plain and simple! :) spikes: nike zoom rival!
faithful-euphoria asked: my goal for the end of track season is to have a 5:20 mile time :) and i'm running in nike lunar glides!
foreverperfectionist asked: for the 800m (if you're decently fast): get out fast so you don't get stuck behind a massive mob. then tuck in behind second or third and pace with them if you can, but leading puts you in a tough spot unless theres literally no competition. if you're indoors kick on the last two-thirds of a lap (or last half lap if you're outdoors)
metal-core asked: Goal: 55s in IH, 2:15s in 800 and Im running in Nike Superflys :D
xccris asked: Sub 15:10 5k. Sub 4:10 1500. Maybe a sub 2:00 800. We'll see. As for spikes. I've already used Nike Kennedy's (White), Nike Miler (Kenyan), and will be using Eldoret Milers and Ventulus 2 this weekend. I have 20+ to choose from.
shutupandloveeme asked: I'm doing the mile in outdoor track since I did it in indoor! better than the 800! I'm running in my Nike Zoom Waffle XC spikes, I've had them since XC season. Want hot pink ones though!
HEY GUYS.
What are everyone’s goals for track season this year??
And what spikes/flats are your running in?
Put it in the ASK BOX.
Yay!
yummdrpepper asked: I used to play soccer, but I decided after this school season, which just ended, I wasn't going to play anymore so I could focus on xc and track. My mom's friend, who happens to be the boys var. soccer coach for my school, really wants me to be on his rec soccer team. Buuuut, soccer starts a little bit before track ends, and that's only if I dont make CIF. My track coach said that...
yummdrpepper asked: (2/2) by my mom's friend. I really don't know what to do... suggestions, please??
Anonymous asked: How do you run an 800m race? Are there any tips or techniques? I have a race coming up :|
evinella asked: To the anon that asked about nerves-- my coach does this thing for me that's actually pretty helpful. He gives me a film canister and tells me to put all my fears, all my doubts, everything negative into that film canister. And then when I put the top on and seal it all away, I'm able to relax and focus on the coming race. I know it's silly, but it actually really helps!
mistertom asked: please reblog my post labeled 'ecstasy'. ;)
amfoley asked: I love this blog so much! I run xc in Massachusetts and some of our courses are pretty tough! At my home course we had to run through a full out stream because we had to create a makeshift course at the middle school (our usual course at the high school was wrecked by a tornado that came through town.) I was wondering if you guys could share some stories about tough races- hills, heat, streams, or...
Anonymous asked: So, I just wanted to ask, what state do you live in? Cause I'm from Southern California and our league is super competitive. My race times are generally between 5:20-5:30 on the mile, and I'm pulling 5th or sixth in the race... same with cross country, my best was an 18:50 and the best girl got a sub-17. I think your times are fantastic, I'm just curious because it seems like I have...
1st meet recap.
So keep in mind, I’ve not really been running my workouts because I have pole vaulting 4 days a week and this culinary competition.
1 mile- 1st place, 6:23 ( Yes I know this is bad for me, I can make this a lot faster) 2 mile- 2nd place, 14:20 ( I was pacing 2 of our other girl XC runners)
Can I just say that I HATE RUNNING AROUND IN A CIRCLE.
Oh, and they didn’t have a pit so I...
Anonymous asked: How the &$^# do you guys run in those hot temperatures?!? Up here in Michigan, if it's 80-90 degrees, people are dropping like flies. o.o But we're experts in snow running ;)

Anonymous asked: My XC team does what we call a pizza run. We run down the local pizza place (about 3.5 there and 3.5 back). We eat as much pizza as we can and drink a bunch of milk then run back. We have 2 competitions. Whoever gets back first. And who doesn't throw up or throws up last. :) No wonder people say we're insane
