Where are typically set? It does feel fairly dry and warm
Warm air is great for racing. Since there is no sunlight beating down on the track its not detrimental. Also cold air cannot hold as much moisture therefore the humidity will be lower.

I know that. Just wondering if anyone knows where temperature and humidity are normally set. Have some guys with some breathing problems who seem to feel, and run better indoor

I would guess most places keep their indoor tracks around 65 degrees in the winter. The humidity will be determined by the outdoor air humidity. I doubt anyone is using humidifiers to add moisture to the air. The extremely low rh% is why runners get the indoor track cough after races.
Outdoor air on a cold winter day can be very dry. Heat that air up to room temperature, and the relative humidity can get to extremely low levels. I would bet that most tracks with modern HVAC systems are adding moisture to the air, just not enough to make it comfortable for hard running. You'd probably need to talk to the facilities manager at a track to get the answer you're looking for, though. Report back to us if you do.
