So if you wanted to run exactly 1 mile you could start 51 meters in front of the start line and run 4 laps. There are problems with this as some tracks have different sized straights which cause the actual turns to consume less of the distance, but this is a pretty good estimate if you're not actually racing.

F'n Canadians and their metric tracks. Remember some older high school tracks in the US are still imperial i. Which means approx 7'ish feet or 2. Post 10 of 26 views. In Reply To:.

One of the guys was training and turning in some impressive mile times We used to have an invitational meet that featured a 5 man mile relay FLA Jill. Post 13 of 26 views.

No one told me I was swimming in a yard pool. I was checking my times and thinking--"Yeah. I've still got it. Post 16 of 26 views. Cut in close on the turns then swing wide on the straights??? Post 17 of 26 views. Then you have some complicated math ahead of you.
That means that four lengths is the same as a single mile. To reach 1. A few high school tracks are different lengths from this, but the vast majority of them are m in length. That means that in almost every case, a mile and a half will take you 6 laps round your high school track. This is pretty much standard, no matter where your school may be. While there are some circuits and tracks that can be a bit different in length and throw off your measuring, the vast majority of them follow the standard Olympic length of m or the same as a quarter of a mile.
This standard length makes the math much easier when you want to plan out your practice circuits in detail. It is always the first lane that gets used when measuring the length of a track, though, and outside lanes will be slightly longer. How many Miles is 10 laps Round a Track? No longer. Ever wonder why you are so much slower on the track than the roads?
In other words you are likely running the same pace, maybe even faster. Which brings us to our next vitally important topic. Yes there are rules on a track. Unwritten and often the source of confrontation. Usually just words exchanged. So we know the importance of lane one. Everyone should in lane one. But only at the respect of others.
Walking in lane one is fine if no one else is on the track. Or if others are on the track only while no one is near you. Or if you are a slower runner, then you need to either stay out of lane one when busy or be aware of others if not busy. Easy to run into a slower runner. And been run into. The bottom line is you need to respect lane one. If someone is coming up on you, running faster, then move to a lane outside of where they are. So if you are in lane 1, and a runner is coming up on you, move to lane 3 or 4.
Give them the chance to safely pass on your left side and then you can move back in. So a track is M around for one lap. A M race then would start exactly half way around. A M race would start in the same place right?
An M race, half a mile minus the 4. Those are somewhat easy. But what about the turns? What appears to have been a group of kids experimenting with spray paint on a Friday evening is anything but. There too, a strategy is at hand. Those markings are for relays. Remember the 4 by M relay in the Olympics or other televised track meets? The person passing the baton to the person receiving it. Outside of the zone only one can be touching. Failure to pass within the zone properly means you are disqualified.
Can you wear road shoes on the track?
