This book is a guide to the individual events which make up track athletics - sprinting, relays, hurdling, middle-distance, cross-country, steeplechase and walking. Each chapter outlines the progressive stages required to develop skill and confidence, and the author emphasizes the importance of mental as well as physical preparation. Advice is offered on equipment and conditioning for particular events and also includes suggested training schedules which the athlete may follow or adapt. Throughout the book the author takes into account the differing needs and abilities of schoolchildren, club members and male and female athletes of all ages. Dr Nick Whitehead OBE is an Olympic and Commonwealth medallist and former Great Britain Track and Field Athletics Manager.
