Ready, set, GO!

Ready! Set! Go! Running, jumping and throwing are all mixed into one sport that we call Track and Field. It is the combination of many sports, some of which include sprints, long distance running, throwing, and jumping.


Running and jumping help develop muscles in your legs, which makes it easier to have good balance. People can start developing track skills anywhere where space is available. Depending on the skill for example: Throwing track events consider strength in the upper body, so you can work out. Group or private lessons are available in any multiple sports center, like Aeronáutica.


Preferably, track is better to happen during fall season since the weather is in perfect balance. Mornings and nights jogs are the best warm up to start the tracking season.


To be ready, you will need the following materials: Athletic shorts, Tank top, Running sneakers, water bottles, sunscreen, and hats - or visors.


According to IAAF Hall of fame, Abebe Bikla, from Ethiopia, is the greatest male track and field athlete. His name is the first on the ranking list.


The most popular sport in Brazil is soccer, however tracking has gained more fame during the years, marketed by some banks like Santander, which sponsors some tournament around the country. Starting October I3, Santander Track and Field Run series will take place in São Paulo, Minas Gerais, Paraná, Rio de Janeiro and Rio Grande do Norte. You pay according to the category chosen. There are options for kids and adults, 5km, 9,5 km, I0 km, Crossfit + Bodypump + Cycling + Running + Abdominal, and others.


"Oncelive heard life is like a marathon with some sprinters, at times. It's true, because in life we need to work hard to do our very best" says Mr. Rick Marques, LS P.E. teacher, and US soccer coach.
