all the lanes on a 400m track are 400m. that's y no one starts at the same place because it's made so that everyone runs the same distance

Traditionally in track and field, a one mile run is 1600m = 4 laps of a standard 400m track. A mile is actually about 1609m, but any mile events are rounded to 1600m. In that case, 1.5 miles would be 6 laps or 2400m.

Field = The main group of riders. Also known as the "pack", "bunch", or"peloton."

Field Sprint = A sprint to the finish amongst the main group of riders.

Single-track = A path or trail wide enough for only one rider at a time.

IF you are talking about scratch(the game maker then you have to use a program called BYOB (Build your own blocks)

That depends on your track, but MOST school tracks are 1/4 mile, or 440 yards.

Virtually all athletics tracks are 400 metres long. This is why they have a staggered start in 400m races. An 800 metres race is therefore 2 laps of a 400m track.

If the half marathon you're doing is your very first race and you're a true beginner, my opinion is that you should just have fun with it and not worry about your speed.

However, if you want to set a time goal, I think that a beginner should aim to finish in about 2:00 (~9:00 mile) to 2:40 (~12:00 mile). If you find that you have some natural talent in speed (and distance - remember that you have to hold it for over 13 miles!), aim to break 2 hours. If you're planning on alternating running and walking or just "taking your time," you could aim to break 3 hours.

Good luck!

Definitely yes! Track and field is an effective way to increase your cardiovascular fitness, lose weight, and even reverse bone loss. In addition to these benefits, running track promotes competition and encourages you to improve your running ability while promoting teamwork.

Soccer includes a lot of running and long hard hours of it. Track IS running. They are both similar in a lot of ways.

The mile and a half run is extremely rarely, if ever contested by elite runners. However based on current world records for the mile and two mile, we can infer that the world record if it were commonly contested would probably be about 5:50.

HEALTH: It was shown in one study that individuals who ran more than 50 miles per week had significantly greater increases in HDL cholesterol (the good fat) and significantly greater decreases in body fat, triglyceride levels, and the risk of coronary heart disease than individuals who ran less than 10 miles per week. In addition, the long-distance runners had a nearly 50% reduction in high blood pressure and more than a 50% reduction in the use of medications to lower blood pressure and plasma cholesterol levels." Running improves your aerobic fitness by increasing the activity of enzymes and hormones that stimulate the muscles and the heart to work more efficiently.

PHYSICAL: It gets you in shape. Depending on which event you do determines what kind of shape. Examples: Sprinting gives you strong legs. Shotput, discus, and hammer give you hip mobility and muscular arms. pole vault tagets your abdominal and arm strength. high jump focuses on hip mobility and leg muscles. Distance running gets you leaner and increases your stamina. Hurdles for flexibility. and the lis goes on..

LIFE: It teaches you commitment and dedication. If you are a true track athlete you understand the meaning of work and obtain better work ethic.

EMOTIONALLY: Emotionally, track and field helps one break through both mental and physical barriers that keep us from living life at are fullest potential. It provides a sense of self worth. Makes you feel better about your self.

"USC has a regulation sized track. I.E. the track is 400m long. a mile is 1500m therefore it would be 3.8/3.9 laps to equal 1 mile."

tall people have long legs so their legs carry them a longer distance in one step than a short persons step.

i have been a twin all my life and my brother has longer legs than me and ive always been the slow runner not because im a girl but because im short.

I think that short people run faster because the have more energy and tall people get tiered easly.And try not to give up on your self always try.
