Stretching exercises are nessary for track and field. You want to get the muscles and limbs stretched so you don't stretch a muscle during competition. You should stretch every day, seven days a week, for at least 30 minutes if not more. When you practice that should only be five days a week, or even less.

If you want to prepare for Track & Field 2 to 3 weeks or if not that before or at least a week but none the less, Eat healthy, do not eat any white foods, by this i mean do not eat any white breads, white pasta, only whole wheat, and other conserved foods, foods in cans should be not eaten as much once a week or none, and once you get ready you should base your self on no SUGARY FOODS and if you must tempt yourself to eat like a dingdong or something only one in a week, you should go work out base yourself on what events you want to do, if you want to do long distance, you should run ona tred mill anything weight lift your legs, and make sure you breath in your mouth and out youre nose, Also you should pace yourself up to running events even if its walking one night fast walking another, jogging, running, then sprinting youre best, In the Ends you should always have a goal with information and no goal you are ok but what are you really setting for youre self rememeber and have fun

What's the best way to train for a marathon?

If you are joining a HS track team they usually have practice 5 days a week. If this hasn't started yet I would just go out running at a pace you can handle for about 30 min every day, with days off every few days. Improvement only comes with hard work. After I finish a hard work-out, like the one I did today (2x600m@90-100 sec; 4x400m@63-67sec. each; run 300m uphill sprinting) I am always so dead that I can't breathe afterwards, but I know that each time I do it I will get better, the work will become easier, and the next time I won't feel so terrible when it is over. Self-improvement is the core of track.
