Hi! I’m new to this space and was wondering if there are any runners out there? If so what is your favorite event/distance?

Ohhh yes I’m a runner!
Pre-Cross country season right now, I love running 2-3 miles
During Track season, I love running 1 and 2 miles, sometimes 400m and 800m, as well as considering doing hurdles this year

I’m a runner! I do cross country, 400m, and 1500m for school. I also occasionally run on a track or treadmill at my rec centre to practice (usually 1500m or 3k)

Im a runner too! I do cross country and the for track I do 4x8, 1600 and 800. Sometimes I have to do the 3200 but I prefer the 4x4 (because I’m the only one who is willing to run the 32 while there’s enough 400 runners to go around).
what events do you do?

I’m sorta a runner! I do track and field and cross country, though my main events for track and field are shot put and discus and I only do cross country because the coaches begged me to and it’s good conditioning for my other sports

I’ve never heard of the 1500, only the 1600 
I think the US decided it needed to be special again lol

To be fair 1600 would be much easier… there has to be a special start marking for 1500 because it’s 3 3/4 laps of a 400m track. I’ve only heard of 1500, maybe that’s a Canada thing.

Ok, I looked it up. The 1500 is in the Olympics, so we probably should know about it BUT the 1600 is exactly a mile (or 4 laps), so it’s easier for middle schools (or any smaller schools) to deal with.

Maybe 1500 isnt a Canadian and Aussie thing, it’s 1600 is an American thing.

I’m a runner! My main running sport is cross country, all last season I got top twenty or better in all of my meets, but I also do the 1600, 800, 4x4, and long jump in track. This year I’m going to try the 3200 bc I’d probably be good at it.
