Hey! So I am a sophomore in high school and have been running indoor track for three years (as an 8th grader I trained with the team but didn't compete because I wasn't allowed to) and I am thinking about quitting track because all my coach cares about is winning the meets which we do but he doesn't individualize training meaning I will do a sprinters workout when I run the mile (8x 50m at 7%= my races sucking) and my team is extremely awkward and we don't talk at all. So... should I quit? I wouldn't have anywhere to go but could train on the roads and run unattached at non school sanctioned meets. A few questions to ask though
- can I run in states/nationals (if I was good enough) running unattached?
- What would I wear as a uniform at the meets I go to
- Would I be able to compete against guys who run for there school in big meets?
Please let me know!
Thanks
