Build On It
Ever tried to go for a run, and after the first five minutes, you are too tired to go another step? That is because running is something that takes time for your body to accept and get used to. Running training is essential to developing your endurance and muscles, allowing your body to go that extra step and many more after. Most running training involves gradually increasing your work load on a weekly basis, until you reach a point where you feel you can accomplish your goals.

Bottoms Up!
Sit on the ground with your legs straight out in front of you. Swing your arms, anyway you choose, one at a time, and try to lift your bottom off of the ground without touching the ground with your hands or bending your knees. Can't do it can you? Now, pull both arms behind your body, elbows bent at ninety degrees. Keeping them bent, swing your arms in front of your body and stop them abruptly when your triceps are parallel to the ground. Wow, now your seat is not longer on the ground is it? This simulates the double arm block at the takeoff point in the high jump. This is the one of the best and first high jump drill that beginning jumpers should learn and practice every day.

Conquer the Challenge
What is ultimate track and field challenge? Combine all of the skills and training needed for each event and try the decathlon or the heptathlon. You'll need endurance to compete for several hours each day and in ten or seven events in a row. You'll need to be a jumper, a sprinter, a hurdler, a thrower, fast, in shape, strong, and above all, mentally tough.
The events in the decathlon are the 100m, long jump, shot put, pole vault, 400m, then on the second day, 110m hurdles, javelin, high jump, discus, 1000m. For the women, the heptathlon consists of the 100m hurdles, high jump, shot put, 200m, then for day 2, the long jump, javelin, and 800m. These events are the marathon of track and field.
