[quote=Anonymous]Those are great times, but I would do everything you can to encourage your child’s LOVE of running or athletics in general. I say this as a parent of a top middle distance track runner who loves to run, always has good times like that, went to States etc. Running is the kind of thing where if you take a week or two off, it really messes with your performance. Conversely, though, you can kind of burn out, especially if you run three seasons for track. Follow your child’s lead and see what they want to do. But I agree they should continue running even in the off-season. The only time of year my son consistently takes a break from running is after Summer/ outdoor track states from like mid June to early July. He makes up for it by playing basketball or going swimming then. [/quote]
