im 6'1 and running the curves on the track absolutely drains my legs MUCH more than the straights. i need tips for running the curves big time. if it helps any I am a fast twitch 800m guy trying to move up to the mile. my mileage is fine and i feel great doing 400m hills, but put me on the track and for some reason those curves make me feel horrible. thanks in advance

re: vampgaze

another very weird thing that may be relevant is that i actually feel MUCH better running uphill then on flat ground... my feet land more directly underneath me. my thought is that my stride has too much vertical.

Try running a marathon on a track-once you get lapped, your legs will feel better, and you can unlap yourself and get back in the race

Shorten your stride.
