track workouts

Oval running drills

Track workouts are running sessions performed on an athletic track, typically involving structured intervals, sprints, or speed drills rather than continuous distance running.

The measured lanes and consistent surface make tracks ideal for timed repetitions: I do track workouts on Tuesdays to build speed.

The term distinguishes this training from road runs or trail running.
