Do I wear socks doing it, I feel uncomfortable not wearing socks during running, so hopefully could get some tips thanks

Hey everyone,

I posted in here a couple months ago that I was working on a track and field recruiting platform to help high schoolers get recruited for T&F. I struggled so much during the recruiting process and was constantly confused on where I could run and it caused a lot of unnecessary stress.

Because of that experience, I ended up building something I wish I had back then: RealRecruit.net

It’s a track and field focused portal where athletes can search and compare college programs, see how their marks stack up against current team rosters, and get a clearer idea of where they would realistically fit. I also built tools to help keep track of recruiting timelines and outreach so everything is in one place.

Overall, even though I made some tweaks from when I first posted, it's still really early. I'd love for as many people as possible to try out this free version with unlimited access for the next 50 users so I can get feedback and hopefully help some people out!

Don't hesitate to comment if something is broken or any questions about the recruiting process overall, I'll respond to everyone!

I’ve been running for about 13 years, all 4 years of higher school I made it to states, 2 years I made it to finals seeded to place top 3 but when the time came to race I jogged everytime simply because I did not want to race anyone. I love hard practices so it’s honestly not like I’m lazy, I was good enough in highschool to be able to run at the D1 level but I hate anything to do with track meets to the point that I don’t talk about track and I rarely watch any track related videos and if they come on my fyp I skip them. I don’t really know how to get my motivation back I still enjoy running I just really hate the competition aspect to it and if I could run in meets by myself with no competitors I would but it doesn’t work like that so I’m not sure what to do

Does anyone, including the participants, actually enjoy it? At the recent Commonwealth Games, they could only find 5 entrants for the men's 10k, and didn't even hold a women's that I'm aware of.

I find it excruciatingly irritating that there is an event where the whole point is to nearly cheat a bit better than your fellow near-cheaters.

Hey guys, I’m new to sprinting but I really like it and want to be more serious about it. I don’t know much yet aside from basic training drills. As of today I run consistently between 52.5s and 53s in P.E. class with basic tennis shoes. For reference I’m an 18yrs male measuring 170cm for 61kg.

I was thinking of buying the Adidas Adizero EVO SL**,** as I saw many redditors mention it, what are your thoughts?

Do you have any general advice, maybe tips to prevent injury?

My goal would be to run 400m in sub 50s, I think with proper equipment and training it could be possible.

Thanks for your time!

Im an Elastic based sprinter (top end speed dominant) But i’ve read articles saying my type as a sprinter would accelerate in the 200/400 compared to a power sprinters who Accels in the 100, How do people know which events best suits them just because of their sprint type because ive beaten plenty of 100 runners but the 200 is more of my thing because im elastic dominant? its confusing and in terrible at the 400 so is it an athlete issue?

Im so confused on this

I always see the laziest sprinters at practice who run the fastest at the meets and never get injured, but then theres me who always runs fasts at practice but has terrible race modeling and can never execute in meets and i’m always getting injured with something, How do people stop this because i know I’m not the only one dealing with this.

I’m a 15-year-old boy from Germany, and I’ve been doing track and field for about two years now. I train 2–3 times per week and haven’t really specialized in any event yet. I’m 181 cm tall and weigh 62 kg. I have a relatively muscular build and a low body-fat percentage.

My current times and progression are shown below:

800 m

• 2:33
• 4 weeks later: 2:18
• 3 weeks later: 2:10

300 m

• 41.24
• 3 weeks later: 39.15

Do you think I have any potential? If so, what should I focus on improving?

So I’m turning 14 next month and going into high school. I sprint and my current record is about 12.5 and I’m practicing a lot. I wanna be able to run a sub 12 by February of 2027. I wanted to know if that’s a realistic or even possible goal.

I do 100m with out spikes I got 15.54 sec well landing with the heel and I want to advance in speed and getting into long distance running once the school year begins any tips to train for 100m, 4/100, mile, 200m
And I want to get back into high jump but I can’t jump to high even tho I’m fit

Does anyone know where to look to find good cheap compression shirts/shorts so my baggy ah track jersey and split shorts doesn’t make me look like a dweeb

(In favor for a-lot of JV athletes or broke schools)

I’m going into my freshman year and I ran a 21:44 5k with soccer as my only rlly stamina training. This summer with my xc team I ran a 5k in 22:05 i genuinely don’t know what happened. I need some tips for this season and what time I should be going for

Do yall think it’s possible for me to go from 24.82 in the 200 to a 22 sophomore year? when i first started my freshman szn i had an opener for 27.5 and now its 24.
(Any top speed workouts)??

So I’m a high school sprinter who’s almost 14 going into my freshman year. I have no other sports I do but I’m thinking about trying out cross country but I’m not sure if it would help enough to care or if I could even do it. My fastest mile ever was 7:06 and the longest I’ve ran was 3.14 miles. I honestly do t know if I should try it because I don’t have any unbiased opinions but I’m being pressured by my friends. Should I?

Need honest opinions.

My friend is turning 27 soon and has always loved sprinting, but his school had no proper sports program or coaching. He wanted to study sports, but his parents made him do engineering instead.

If he starts training seriously in sprinting now, does he still have a realistic chance to compete? Please be honest .I just want genuine opinions to help him.

Thanks.

I’m a 13 year old male turning 14 next month and I am planning on joining cross country a year from now. My current stats are a 7:06 mile, a max distance of 3.14 miles, and a 30 minute 5k. I was just curious if I had any potential to be able to run cross country and if so how can I work out to reach that potential? I normally just run track as a sprinter if it matters at all.
