Kwame Safo Boateng - Athlete runner events

 Kwame Safo Boateng -  Track and field is a sport that involves athletic competitions based on running, jumping skills. The name is derived from the game where the game is going on, the meadow for running and some jumping events. Track and field is classified under Umbrella Sport of Athletics, which also includes road running, cross country running and racewalking. The five types of Athlete runner events such as sprints, middle distance, hurdles, relays, and long-distance.

Sprints (100m, 200m, 400m)

Sprint events in track and field usually include races of 100 meters, 200 meters, and 400 meters, although 60 meters races are also held on the occasion.The Sprints are said to be one of the most ancient running competitions and are said to have evolved from a 180-meter race competition held during the ancient Olympic Games. The outdoor 100-meter sprint race aims to increase its maximum speed at the fastest speed based on the ability of the athlete. In the 100 meter run, the runners stay in the fixed lane. Fast runners are given a lane in the middle of a multi-heat event. According to kwame safo boateng, The 200 meters puts more emphasis on speed endurance rather than shorter sprint distances because athletes rely on different energy systems during longer sprints. The race starts on the curve and ends directly at home, so a combination of techniques is required to run the race successfully. The 400 meter race is a sprint around the track at the stadium. The runners stagger to their starting place so they run the same distance. While maximum sprint speed is important in this race, athletes also require adequate speed endurance and a high tolerance for pain as they maintain high amounts of lactic acid on the lap.

middle distance (800m, 1500m)

The mid-distance race is part of track and field discipline, typically 800m and 1500m races, although it encompasses all tracks of the race ranging from 800m to 3km such as miles.The 800-meter runners begin the race in the streets, although they merge together after about 100 meters to walk inside the track. The 1500 metres is the foremost middle distance track event in athletics.At 1500 meters, a well-developed sense of tenacity and strategy is an important asset in addition to speed and endurance.

hurdles (110/100m, 400m)

An obstacle race is one in which the obstacles are placed at intervals along the track that the runner must jump to the finish line on their way.Typical hurdles are 100 meters and 400 meters and 110 meters for women and 400 meters for men. Kwame safo boateng says, Time, footwork and technique are important in obstacle race events. Of course you still need to be fast, but jump into the stride without slowing down the hurdles as to how to win over the hurdles. 

long distance (3000m Steeplechase, 5000m, 10,000m)

Long-distance running is a sport of track and field discipline, covering all running races from 3kms to marathons. There are many distances for which long-distance races are conducted, the most common of which are 5000m, 10000m, and marathon races. Training for 5000 meters is similar to 1500 meters in that many 5000 meter athletes regularly participate in 1500 meter races, but the combination of 5000 meters and 10000 meters is more preferred by athletes. 10000 meters is a highly strategic race that follows the pack for the first 8000 meters to 9000 meters.

relays (4x100m, 4x400m)

The 4 × 100-meter relay is an athletics track event, with runs on one lap on each track, with four runners every 100 meters.The first runners start at the same pace for the individual 400m race. A relay baton is performed by each runner. And 4 × 400-meter relay or long relay is an athletics track event in which teams have four runners who complete 400 meters or one lap each. This is traditionally the last program of the track meet.
