practice is key, if you want to do distance try running at higher altitudes or when its colder. try to exercise and eat healthy, lots of fruits and vegetables as well as protein to build up muscle.
Good luck
The only way to get faster is to train. It's important to weight train as well as run in order to build proper muscle. It's also important to start slow to build a solid foundation. If you try to start off too hard, there is a good possibility that you will end up hurting yourself. If you hate running, why would start just to join track and field anyway?
Considering you haven't done much running, you wouldn't quite understand the distance aspect of it. I firmly believe that you don't choose the distance you run, it chooses you. Some people are great at running 100m and terrible at long distance and vice versa. Short and long distance runs are very different from one another and there is no real way of comparing which is "better". It's a matter of preference and ability.
100m is hard to jump into. It is one of the most competitive, well worked for events in track and field. Since it's such a small distance, every second counts if you want to beat your opponents. If you are for sure set on the 100m, you should talk to the sprint/runnnig coach asap, so you can start conditioning. Since you don't like running, you might want to. It will be hard. In a work out you just dont time your 100 every day to see if you got better. You will probably have to put in several other distances around the track as well as upper boody, an abdominal work outs
But anyways.
Crosscountry. Why? Better on your body. Will help you get used to stitches and help you run further. If you run short distances and then think that's enough it's not...
I run with my dogs around the town every morning before school and so far I'm improving and in the SIS athletics & cc team.
hope that helps!
Also...stick to a good diet.
I went by way of the identical difficulty, I used to be gambling plenty of wing and whole again and I desired to transport into the facilities. Now I'm at fly, however you have got to have a well combine of labor within the health club and determine at the area. I committed a entire exercise within the health club to being explosive. This exercise consisted of squats, lifeless lifts, field jumps, quad extensions, calf increases, weighted lunges, strolling stairs, and hold cleans. One of my favourite matters to do used to be an olympic style carry. Get a weight your comfy with and do a lifeless carry/ blank/ to a over head press. You additionally have to do center. To be a robust runner you have got to have a robust base and center. Those exercises will make you robust and explosive, however you additionally have got to combine that with pace coaching to hold from getting too cumbersome and getting slowed down. To do that I might combine in a few sprints of unique lengths. I might begin with rough 22meter and 40meter sprints to paintings on acceleration and explosiveness. Then do a little longer sprints, I did 100meters. This forces you to preserve that rough dash in order to make your flat line pace plenty greater. Try to get a pal to do those with you. If you are making it a race then you can push your self extra. I might normally do my explosive exercise within the health club as soon as every week and my sprints two times every week. Between that and your natural conditioning at train you'll for certain see outcome in the way in which you run.
I am a distance runner. I think if you aren't that fast it might be better for you to run distance, but you have to have the stamina. You won't know until you try.
Distance - Run
Sprints - Get stronger
I like distance. Some prefer sprinting because the workouts can be easier. It's up to you.
Get a trainer, and practice.
