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.
