Track Club: Mass Veloctiy Track Club Any Injuries: Achilles Reasons Goals for Sprinting: Enjoy the curious stares as you blast by the jogger/walkers on the local track. Sprinting and Masters Track gives me much more motivation to stay in shape. This has helped me in other sports and tasks requiring a lot of physical effort. Comments: Take the long view. Masters Track is something you can do for decades. If you suffer an injury, give it plenty of time to heal. So what if you miss a season of competition? There are dozens more in the years ahead.
