The most important thing when
running, you must be dressed appropriately. Not only for practice but for any
event that you are participating in, each event is generally the same but
sometimes there are exceptions. Always check with the officials to make sure
you are “checked out”. “Checked Out” means your dress is fine or approved.
Practice Attire should be:
(From top to Bottom)
·
Hat (weather permitted)
·
Sweatshirt/running jacket
·
Long-sleeve shirt or Short-sleeve shirt
·
Long spandex
·
Short spandex
·
Sweatpants
·
Running shoes
-
Sprinters usually have shoes that support their
arch
-
Distance runners have a flat shoe that supports
their heal
This attire is worn in all
weather. No matter how hot or how cold you must weather these layers at least
during Warm-Up, because that’s what it’s supposed to do warm you up.
At a Track Meet Attire:
·
Team Sweat suit
·
Short or Long Sleeve shirt
·
Jersey
·
Spandex shirt under if you want
·
Team Spandex
·
Running shoes for warm-up
·
Spikes
-
Spikes- a shoes that helps runners stick into
the track, they help runners run faster
-
Sprinters and Distance runners also have
different spikes, each support the same as the shoe.
-
Sprinters have 7 spikes
-
Distance has 4 spikes
·
Field event shoes
-
Each field event has particular shoes that
enables them to have a better result
If a runner wears something that
is very obviously they must have the talent to follow. In the Track Nation, if
you wear something that puts you in a place where everyone will notice you, you
must have the talent to show that you drew attention for just that reason.
During most field events (shot put, pole vault, high jump, and discus) and
during races you have to tuck your jersey in. For the race it is easier for
your number to be seen.
*This is from a elementary to high school level perspective, at the college level things become more complex.
