I was never an athlete, but my teen enjoys competitive sports and trains to be at max performance as a runner.
I have always wanted to be a runner, but I have bad knees. Do they like long distance running or shorter sprints?
He like long-distance running over distances of at least eight kilometres.
Are they on the school track team or in a running club of some kind?
Technically track and field since it includes cross country running.
I don't know how people run in the heat. I would pass out. Does extreme weather bother them?
Well heat waves here are typically very humid, so he actually gets up to run at sunrise before the heat is bad.
Very smart. Does he participate in any other track and field events?
