Track & Field Thread

[SlayerZ99]

So dicuss Track and Field pretty much.

This is my 2nd year doing track and for events Im doing Long Jump, 110m High Hurdles and 400m Hurdles (which I just got sucked into)

We had our first track meet yesterday and I didnt do to well due to my ankles.
For practice today we only have to run 3 miles and after I could barely walk due to my ankles. :(

I did track last year. I suck at hurdles and my coach forced me to try it. So I jumped over the first one, then tripped and fell flat on my face.

I dont have a problem. Im only 5' 8" and the hurdles are 39" though

Bump through some research I think I found why my ankles hurt so much. Because I'm always running with heel strikes instea of the ball of my foot

Unless you run a lot that won't happen. What might be more likely is shin splints if you run on the track only.

i run 800m. you shouldnt be in pain after only 3 miles... 3 miles is easy.

[Mr.jacksaunt]

on the topic of three miles my best 5k time is 21 minutes

i don't run obsessively but I do run occasionally and I have been getting shin splints

3 miles is easy yes but I've had this ankle pain for 2-3 days now but today it was so bad I could barely walk after I was done

field is superior to track imo

I like 100M, Long jump and 200M the most

long jump is fun except I had absolute terrible jumps yesterday and my 200m was only a 26.2 or something like that
