Any fans / competitors in athletics or track and field, here's a thread to talk about it.

nerds lol jk

my friends do it. well, they do "cross-country", does that count?

Cross country suuucks.

no. i prefer sports with a theme. like atleast a ball.

running flat out sucks. cross country sucks just a little bit more cuz you gotta run in weather conditions and long distances...

Yeah, and the teachers look down on you and laugh

it's hurts, even though the teachers are short and have to look up at me literatly.

I used to do sprint training.. 100m and 200m. But I quite that a few years ago and now I'm soooooo lazy.

i did sprinting- 100m and 200m, but our coach was horrible. he used to waay over do it....
"ok, we're doing 2 400's for time, girls you have 72 seconds, guys you have 65- go.... oh wait, you guys finished the 2nd one in 74 seconds. go get the guys and tell them we have 2 more thanks to you. "
"coach i think i'm gonna throw up"
"don't get any on the track. you still have 2 more..."

he's probably just pissed cuz he grew up to be a gym teacher

shit. i practiced with the track team so i can have some exersice and stay in shape for next year football. now im running the 800m and 1600m tomorrow. that sux. atleast i'll get outta school early.

I used to train track and field, stopped a few months ago though. it was fun, only thing I hated my coach and my "training buddies" so much I couldn't take it anymore. but I'm over it, I would never have been anything anyway. but it's so much more fun than team sports (being an individual as I am I just can't work good in groups and I suck at teamwork so yeah)

I LOVE TRACK AND FEILD even though i dont do feild but i do the 100 m the 55 hurdels and the mile

I did cross country in my english high school.
I was pretty good I guess, it sucked though.

I did long jump at the meet in grade 5!
...and sucked, but point is, I was one of the best.

In middle school I was pretty good at high jump, and in those three years my time for the 1500m run improved so much.

I prefer such track events to some sport like basketball or soccer..

im watching a track meet for colleges or something on espn. man, those guys running distance have to eat something. they look like they weigh 60 pounds.

cross.
i HATE it.
i must run 2100 mtrs. twice a year.

track is my life
I run the 1000 meters
800 meters
400 meters
and a mile in track

and i have big strides so i could jog and still get third place in my heat (yeah im acting cocky)

I run track and cross-country for my college. In track I run the 400M and 800M..sometimes the 1500M......yup.

I can't run worth shit.

I'm on my schools' track team. We don't call it Track and Field, though. We call it Track n' Friel - after our hard core coach. I don't like track the most, but I do it for cross country running training.

No one here runs half-marathons or marathons?!

I run half-m and Im getting ready to run a marathon in some months, just would like to know if someone already did it

65 for the guys? thats not horrible. i do it in 55 and im slow.

Me!!!.....but i just run 3 --kilometers--(or something like that,i dont know how to put it in english)
but going back with the meters ,this year in a competition ,i win in third place(200 meters) and in second place (relief)

Well, its right to say km ... 3km is good but I run half-marathons what means 21km hehe....and Im getting ready to my first marathon, 42km!

Seems you are good in short and fast runnings, great!! Im not good on it!

I. Hate. Running.
Don't ask, I just hate it. I love some sports, I like many other ones but hate running.

I hate that the longest track and field distance we can do is 3km.
I'm only good if it's 5km or 10km

Yeah, usually people love or hate running, no middle term on it hahaha

Haha I wonder why is that
But I think you're right.

I'm not a big fan of athletics, actually, not a fan of sport in general, but I got to districts for 100m sprint. And also long jump.
I lost to the other schools, epicly.
