I am coaching middle school track for the first time. What are some useful workouts?
I am trying to create a workout and practice plan for middle school boys' track, however, I really don't know what I'm doing. I remember some of the training I did waaay back when, but it is hardly enough. These workout & practice plans CANNOT include weight lifting of any kind. Any help would be very much appreciated.
Okay...here's what my coaches did with us last season (boys mostly. only a few girls): they started out with 5-10 minutes warm-up runs and gradually upped the time so eventually we were running for 13 sometimes 14 minutes a day. Then we did the agility ladders. We also did butt-kicks, high-knees, leap frog, sprinting back and forth across the track or gym. We'd also do hill sprints which is where you sprint as fast as your legs will take you, up and down a hill 15 times. 
Those were killer. Also we would do indian runs which is when everyone runs in a line and the person last has to sprint to the front. This pattern keeps going until you have done several laps around the track and several rotations of front sprinters. Then push ups, crunches, anything else that seems hard. I hope this helps you!!!!! Let me know if it does--or doesn't!! Thank you!
