I proceeded to explain the concept of indoor track, something with which that gentleman—and many others—are unfamiliar. High school indoor track may or may not be considered a sport, depending on the state.
It is most definitely a sport in college, though. It has a season of its own, and offers great competitive opportunities. Typically, indoor track meets start in December, break for the holidays and resume in mid-January. Running on an indoor track does not offer the same benefits. Running on a small indoor oval track can increase your risk for injuries. Consider the track for a moment and how you run on it.
You go around and around, the same way each time. The repetitive movements will cause imbalances and unnecessary stress on one-side of the body. Plus, indoor tracks often have tight turns and slippery surfaces. A study revealed that athletes who run on small radius indoor tracks have significant, asymmetrical changes in strength and biomechanics , which means athletes experience strength imbalances.
Running indoor on small tracks has been linked to knee injuries, ankle injuries, and uneven hamstring performance.
If you do run indoors, do not run the same way the entire time. However, before you jump on to your nearest indoor track, exercise caution. The fact that there are tighter bends on a m track compared to a m one, that these are often cambered and the surface is different means you need to be wary of injury.
However, is indoor running for everyone? It is often said that some athletes are not suited to the set-up, perhaps because of the tighter bends. But Thie says some people may be too quick to dismiss it. If someone turned up at the track and was 6ft I would never turn round and say you could never run indoors. But some people it does suit and others they are a bit like a fish out of water. The record books and the fact that you are spending less time running in a straight line suggest that you will run slower indoors.
However, there is another school of opinion. You get the springback, you get no wind but as you start going faster than 60 seconds while you get those two benefits, you are putting a lot more torque on your body as you go around the bends. Whether he is right or not, Marshall says you should always be expecting to run quicker in the summer than you did indoors in the winter. One man keen to bring indoor running to the masses is Irish m record-holder David Matthews.
