How do you get a scholarship for track?
Answer is quite simple run fast !! Check out the schools track team on their web page, look at the best times if you are close to that... it's also about communication with the coaches. Show interest in the school and how you can contribute to the track team. Some schools even post the standards you need to walk-on compared to scholarship. obviously running 10.9 will not get you a full-ride scholarship usually the 10.3 range. I'm a sprinter so i know the ranges.. 200m atleast a 21.2 anmd the 400m 47.00 to 46.8 or lower. It also depends on how much money the team has on scholarships. hope this helps... good luck

Should you eat a big breakfast before a marathon?
First of all oatmeal because it keeps you full so you won't eat other items before the run! Lots of water(but not to much) fruits, nutrition bars, no sugary food like some cereals, and pop tarts. Also you could have a bagel with low fat cream cheese or none at all. No butter. Or bread with a small amount of jelly, peanut butter, or honey. Here's what I do
Bread with peanut butter and honey
Some Cheerios
Water
And I can run for a mile!

What are the average times it takes to run a mile by age groups?
The way to determine this is as follows: Average=shoppers at Wal-Mart on any given weekend. Take the first 100 shoppers to exit the door. Divide them up by age/sex groups. Give them a pair of running shoes. Let them have at it. I would be surprised if the first 20% did not drop dead before completion. The other 70% would be wheezing, looking for the Wal-Mart fat cart, and struggling to complete the test. Maybe the remaining 10% would be able to finish it in 10-15 minutes. Americans are obese and out of shape. If you can do a mile in 10 minutes, you are doing great!

You are actually supposed to drink water after a run because when you are dehydrated, you need something to quench your thirst. The best type of drink to consume after a good run is something like cool water or a cool drink that has electrolytes added to it (sports drink). One thing you should NEVER drink after running is an energy drink such as Monster, Red Bull, Amp, ect. because it makes you even MORE dehydrated and destroys some of your minerals, which causes you to feel dizzy and drowsy.
