My 12 yo daughter is primarily a soccer player, but decided to give up lacrosse to try track this spring at school. She is convinced that she is a distance runner, probably because I have no fast twitch muscles.
She wants to run the 800m/1600m. But qualified for her teams Penn Relays 4 x 100 team with a 13.7 100. At yesterday’s practice for the relay she asked the coach if she could run a 400m to see what it was like. She ran a 64.3 solo on a pretty windy day.
It seams like she has some speed, should she focus on that or do a mix of distances? Her mile is a 6:09 same day as the 100m and she said she took it out way to hard.
