I always thought this was wrong.

you mean like sprint an 800 for a warm up???
or lightly run it??

They run an 800m warmup. Not an 800m race. So lightly run it.

Our team does like a 300m warm-up
Then static stretching and we call it good.

So we're pretty dependent on creating our own warm-up. Its sad, another coach from a different team told me to go warm-up haha yeah, but i'm friends with his team members or w/e. ugh Its so frustrating to have a track coach who doesn’t even know distance runners exist.

that would suck, our track coaches worship us because if they didnt have us we wouldnt be a very good track team because are sprinters arent good enough to carry us.

We do a mile warmup for XC... it's fun; we basically just sing the whole way
