I'm looking to get more serious about my speed but I have some anxiety that is holding me back from getting started. Step 1 is to find a track (I'm avoiding gyms because COVID), but I'm not sure how. Are any tracks fair game? Also, if there are any etiquette rules to be aware of.
Many school districts are turning their high schools and middle schools into high-security fortresses to help thwart school shootings. (Including Oregon, where I live.) Unfortunately, this often includes the school's track & football stadium. The schools where I live have all built new fences around their track that are much higher and more secure. I can't easily climb over a 6- or 8-foot fence anymore at my age, so I never use their tracks anymore :-(
