Follow my instagram account to find details for the prediction contest! WHY LANE 3? We run in lane 3 because our track is only 320 meters long. If we run in lane 3 it makes the length of the track 333.33m which is exactly 3 laps to 1000m. We do a lot of 1000m reps on our track so this makes it easy on the mind to understand the distance. Also, when we run in lane 3 the turns are a little bit wider which is easier on the legs. We also have 400, 800, 1200, and 1600 marks on the track in lane 3 (the track was resurfaced a little over a year ago). There are also marks for the 400-1600 in the other lanes. The girls team runs in lane 1 for their workouts because their strides are much smaller than the guys so they can handle the tighter turns much better. We often work out at the same time as the girls so it makes sense that each team has their own lane to run in. I see people ask me this in every single track session I post so I hope this clears it up.
