How do the Elites Train throughout the year?

Hi everyone!

Sorry if this seems like a stupid question and there is probably a simple answer but how do elite runners organize/run their training cycle’s within a year. Ex. 2024 Olympic to 2025 World Championship.

Do they just do a bunch of 3-4 months blocks of training with recovery weeks? Do they do super long 5+ Month blocks? Year round blocks?

Public Outdoor 400m Tracks?

Hi everyone!

I am wondering if there are any public 400m tracks in the Mount Prospect/Arlington Heights area? I have been going to Harper but it’s just a hassle to drive the 20 min there and back. Is Anything closer or would it be worth reaching out to local school admins to see if it’s possible to use their track (when not in use/outside of school hours)? Thank you
