Gender:   | What distance do you plan on competing in? Short distance (100 m to 400 m) or middle distance (800- 1500m ) or longer distance (3000m - Steeple Chase)...? I competed in highschool and university track and cross country for over 10 years. I was a middle distance and long distance runner! At your age...to be honest...if you want to become faster than I would put the bulk of your focus into actuall run training. The majority of guys I competed with never touched weights throughout there careers and these were national level runners... Weight training is more for the off season... |

Gender: | 100 and 200 m eh! The bullet races! There is nothing endurance about these two events...these are pure full out speed and power! Do you not have a track coach setting up your run workouts? |

| i mean that i'm gonna do both, speed and endurance. they don't just make you do certain things, we can do whatever we want. and no, next year will be my first year running track so i don't got a coach yet. |

Gender: | I can't really imagine a succesful sprinter being able to do cross country or the other way around. You'll either be a slow sprinter or have no endurance for long distance. I thing you need to pick one and stick to it. |
