What do you do in indoor track?

Oh my gosh! I started running indoor track when I was in the 8th grade too! (Im a freshman in high school now.) But now Im too busy with soccer, so I dont do it anymore. You shouldnt be nervous, its actually really fun. Its like outdoor track, but in the winter they move indoors. Its alot easier than outdoor track because the indoor track is alot smaller. In practice we would do different things. My coach would make us run 1 lap at a pace that was faster than a jog but slower than a sprint several times, maybe 5 if I can remember? Or we would do speed ladders, like high knees, sideways high knees, etc. We would usually end with a quick ab workout. Its fun and keeps you in great shape!

Solomon Indoor Track

When the Cabot Center opened in 1954 the building included a dirt floor track & field facility, not uncommon at the time. Now known as the Solomon Indoor Track, the facilities have undergone a number of renovations, including the installation of a 120-yard banked track in 1971, followed by the installation of a flat rubber surface track. In 2008 the facilities were revamped once again, installing an embedded granule track featuring four-lane straightaways, two-lane ovals, and a pole vault pit. Additionally, a turf infield has been included to allow training by many of the University's sports teams. This track is also named for Bernard "Bunny" Solomon as well as his wife, Jolane.
