    • @kristinamarentic
      @kristinamarentic 4 года назад

      my fave is th 400m, but it really depends on your running style. If you have lots of endurance you could do longer distances like 400m, 800m, 1600m, but if you run out of breath faster but are a fast runner do things like 100m, 200m, 400m. There's also the jumps and throws, so do whatever will bring out your talents the best

      Throws are a good option. Yes you need strength but technique makes the difference. Discus is and shot are cheap options as you can buy both for 50$ max on amazon. Javelin is the most expensive around 150+ and hammer about 50-75$

    I have no idea what i want too do, i joined thinking id do long distance. Because ive always enjoyed running like during school miles and stuff. But i just joined this team and the coachs say i have a sprinters body and have put me with the sprinters... THEY ARE SO FAST- i dont know how im going to reach that speed or greater so im kinda scared and embarressed when training with them.

    • @keinanbriggs
      @keinanbriggs  2 года назад +1

      Ms. Marsiah, you got this. When you compare yourself to others you will always find something to highlight. You are YOU, one of a kind. Each lane is sectioned off and you get to run your race to impress YOU. YOU YOU YOU. Your coaches see something in you and who knows they may be right. Get out there and try your all. Put aside the comparisson and "do YOU BOO". To help you get through this, bring you phone and document your journey, then post on social media. I am sure there are many girls in your situation who you could inspire. YOU got this.. Go run fast. :)

I realize im not as fast as the others and i try and push myself to do better to impress myself, though im still falling behind. Today i did much better than last practice though i still seem to stop during the 400's and 800's halfway through. I will continue to push myself, and practice even outside of my teams practices! Thank you so much. I will take in everything you said and remember it. :)

    Track and field needs to fix the time between the 400m and 800m races.
    My best events were the 400m and 800m. But the 800m was my best event so the coach had me do the mile cuz the 400m race is too close to the 800m. After seeing me in the 4 by 4 relay dominate he finally had me do the 400m at the end of my senior year cuz i wanted a school record and i only ran a 4:44 mile which is very slow compared to a sub 2 min 800m.
    I already had the 800m school record, but wanted the 400m school record. Since i was in a division 5 league the competition was weak. I normally run 2:01-2:04s and win by 8-10 seconds. So instead of just getting 1st in the 400m i wanted to break the school record and go balls out. I missed it by a 0.3 seconds, but it was only my 4th 400m race. Not only did i miss out on a school record for the 400m but i ran a 2:12 800m and barely got 1st place in the 800m cuz it started literally 50 mins later and i had almost no time to rest and was very fatigued and sore.
    I just feel mid distance runners with strong 400m and 800m talent r getting fucked simply by the scheduling. Put the 400m early and the 800m later stick useless hurdles and shit in btw and make it more fair. Cuz genrally 1 mile runners run 2 miles, and 400m runners run 800m.

    • @keinanbriggs
      @keinanbriggs  2 года назад

      I totally understand this issue. The best way is to run one primary event one day and the other primary event another day. that will help you get better marks.
      I do see the main issue however.... at the state championship level it will be tough. I had a triple/high jumper and the events are the same time. We had to pick one in the beginning of season.
