How to Run Curves on a 160M Track
- 1). Wear track spikes, or appropriate footwear that will give you the maximum amount of traction for your race.
- 2). Practice sprinting or running on the curves before competing.
- 3). "Attack" the curve. Do not slow down unless it is a part of your pacing strategy for a longer-distance race.
- 4). Hug the curve, meaning run on the inside of the lane.
- 5). Lean into the curve by dipping your left shoulder but do not bend at your waist. Keep your left arm in-line with your body as you lean into the curve. Throw your right arm across you body as you lean into the curve.
- 6). Accelerate through the curve, into the straightaway.
