Long-distance track event

Long-distance track event races require runners to balance their energy. Because of these types of races are very energy-consuming, one requires mental determination and aerobic conditioning, since stamina is a bigger factor than speed. A person may be considered to be minimally trained if one has trained consistently for over 10 weeks prior to running the race.

Other distance events

Longer races are rarely contested on the track, although records do exist for distances up to 1600 kilometers (see marathons and ultramarathons).
