Text Appearing Before Image:
ard a fastfinish. It is very important that the quarter-miler should havegood arm-and-body action, as the length of this race and the highspeed require that the whole body should work harmoniously andsmoothly. Speed, stay, length of stride and smoothness of actionare then the requirements for the quarter. The quarter is such a hard distance to run that it is at onceapparent that the full distance should be covered but rarely atracing speed. In addition to training for speed, the athleteshould run through the 220 yards once or twice a week. Heshould go along for 350 yards at his best quarter-mile pace occa-sionally. This will give him practice at the pace without dis-tressing him. He should, rather frequently, run through thequarter at three-quarter speed, jogging it through as it is called.If, as noted above, he finds the distance too long, jogs at 500, 600,and even 880 yards will be useful. SCHEDULE FOR TRAINING.Monday. Starts and short sprints. 300 yards at quarter-mileracing speed.
