Track Etiquette:
-
Here are 10 good rules of the track (in no particular order):
- All intervals are run counter-clockwise.
- Think of lanes on the track like lanes on the freeway. The left-hand lanes are for the speedy runners, don't run in them for your intervals unless you are an experienced runner. Instead, stay in lanes 3 or 4.
- Lanes are numbered from inside to outside, with the lane closest to the field being lane #1, and the lane furthest from the field being lane #9.
- ALWAYS look both ways before stepping onto the track.
- NEVER STAND IN LANE 1!! (unless you are willing to get brutally yelled at and humiliated by runners trying to perform their own workouts)
- When you finish an interval, ALWAYS step off to the RIGHT... So many times, I've seen people finish an interval and pull off to the left, only to be run over by another runner.... which brings me to my next rule.
- Always look over your shoulder when switching lanes to make sure no one is right behind or to the side of you.
- If you are running up behind someone and want to pass, say "Track" and pass on the inside (to their left).
- If you are running and someone says "Track", pull over to the right so that they can pass on your left.
- I shouldn't even have to write this next one, but again, I see so many people do it that I have to. NEVER spit or blow your nose on the track, you don't know who's behind you and I know YOU wouldn't appreciate getting a nice wet treat on your leg or arm or wherever... GROSS!!
