Strength training: Strength training is very important. Upper body, core and legs. Combine this with track workouts. Pick your desired distance. Train shorter burst/blast distances, for starts/acceleration. Train longer distances (about 50 % longer) holding the speed as much as you can. Together these will blend your desired distance. Run a slower longer distance before and after these drills.
