Session 2 of Indoor Track & Field Pre-Season Training

Training is for Ages 12 thru 18. Registration Closes Oct 16th.

Preseason training in track and field helps athletes build foundational fitness, increase strength and speed, prevent injuries, and optimize performance for the competitive season.

Building Aerobic and Anaerobic Fitness

Preseason training allows athletes to improve cardiovascular endurance and muscular stamina, which is essential for events ranging from sprints to distance running. Sprinters and jumpers also use preseason workouts to enhance anaerobic capacity, improving their ability to sustain high-intensity efforts during competition.

Developing Strength, Power, and Technique

Weight training and plyometric exercises in the preseason help track and field athletes increase muscle strength, explosive power, and overall body control. Preseason is also an ideal time to refine technical skills, such as proper running mechanics, jumping technique, and throwing form, when the athlete is less fatigued from constant competition.

Injury Prevention

Gradually increasing training volume and intensity during the preseason conditions muscles, tendons, and ligaments to handle the stresses of competition. This period emphasizes flexibility, mobility, stability, and proper warm-ups, all of which reduce the risk of injury once the season begins.
