Segment 1: Winter Track at my school

By November the 6th in my school, you can sign up for any winter sport you would like to participate in. They have wrestling, cross country, and the one I will be joining, winter track. I haven’t ran on a track in a while so these are some things I will be doing regularly to stay in shape for winter track. I will work out 1 time for each of the days of the week except Sunday, that’ll be my relaxing day. The workouts I will be doing are 50-100 pushups, 50-100 squats, 50-100 calf-raises, and 50-100 sit-ups all to stay in shape. All my other workouts will be based on the sport, I’ll be sprinting on the track at least 3 times a day and practice jumping over hurdles. I will also have someone with me who also likes track or runs it, to practice with them for the hand-offs of the baton. I could also learn from them as I do have a friend that currently runs track and has been for about 3 years straight now.

Segment 2: Spring Track

Even though the spring track season is nearly over, I still have interest in running it my senior year of high school. I've watched spring track runners practice and it sure is a lot of work. They do things like running backwards, sprinting around the track for an hour, multiple leg exercises, and more that I have yet to see. People of all ages run track at my school as well as the middle school right next to it. It looked like the youngest people out there were in the 6th grade and they probably run faster than I do currently. I will have a lot of competition next year because those are the people at my school, then I could just image what the students are like at other schools, never will get to see them train either so they could pull out something on the track that I’ve never seen before.

Segment 3: Other Schools

Competing against other schools will be hard, we don’t know their workouts, training, or diet, they could be super soldiers for all I know. Everytime I see my friend train and workout for track, I always realize how much competition there is out there, and he’s 2 years younger than me so I could just imagine someone who trains as much as him and is my age as well.
