What is "middle-distance running"?
Middle-distance running refers to races that cover distances shorter than long-distance events but longer than sprints, typically ranging from 800 meters to 1,500 meters. These races require a combination of speed and endurance, as runners must maintain a fast pace while also having the stamina to complete the distance without tiring too quickly. The key to success in middle-distance running is pacing; athletes need to find a balance between sprinting and conserving energy for the final stretch. These races are often held on tracks and challenge runners to push both their speed and endurance to the limit.
