heh... i missed tryouts for cross country this year

but yes DDR really does help you with stamina, and the fast songs such as Max Unlimited and Paranoia definatly help you with your sprinting

timmy- if YOU made the run but your friend didn't. the coach should be jumping on your friend for not using discretion and knowing his own limits. And not using common sense...And you friend is a cry-baby...don't let him play on your DDR anymore

He's probably using it as a scapegoat for his crappy ability.

yea the reason i got chewed out was b/c he told me to stay off it(of course i didn't

) so ne wayz this morning he called me over and demoted me from team captain for making so called bad decisions? for ddring

and i said if anything it will help me then of course he said well if anything it will get you hurt like (teammate) then i said its wasnt my fault he should have known to quit. then he said yes its all your fault your setting a bad example for him then he wouldnt let me say anything

i found it funny

Yea DDR and track go good together, it has made me so fast. I use it for cardio when im not in a sport after my lifts. I went from a 4.9 40 yd dash to a 4.6

I ran for four years, ended up with a 4:47 mile, and still can't pass PSM. It doesn't hurt, but some people just don't have the muscle mass for certain songs, no matter what they do.

Um. Do the triple jump. It helps your freestyle.

I actually plan on trying out for track this year, but I really dont play ddr anymore. I play basketball sometimes, work out at the gym, and go swimming. Is that good training for track? I run about 7-8 minutes on the treadmill at a decent speed for about 3/4 of a mile. I wanna be really good in track, any other pointers?

You might wanna mention which event you plan to try for.

For me track and DDR were not at the same time.... I did hurdles in track...But DDR WAS at the same time as when I did irish dance, and it did help strengthen my legs a bit in a certain jump that involved alot of which is similar to the way you go over a hurdle. *shrug* But depends on the person really. Now I'd be scared as hell to jump a hurdle o_O

hooray for me running a 5:20 mile with no practice!
as far as DDR goes, AA every song save PSMO and LOM so i'd say i'm pretty distinguished there.

but let me say.

i don't there is any relation between track and ddr besides the fact that you use your legs.

oh yeah, a lot of you seem to have XC too. XC kicks ass

Hey this is DDRtimmyDDR's teammate here. Yes on tuesday I did have some problems running but I did make the run was just really tired and fell behind a little. Well anyway I run in the low 17's and high 16's and its easy for me to go 4+ hours straight on it but i suffer the next day

. But when i get used to it and stop doing it that long im sure it wont effect me very much running wise. Well just had to correct my forgetful teammate and put in my 2 cents

OH yea.... if you plan to be a distance runner don't rely on the treadmill...I can NOT run a full mile on the track, but I can do like 5 on the treadmill. Treadmill=WAY easier than out on the track or trail.

I ran track in high school, and DDRed. I didn't do much DDR during track season, though. I was a sprinter. I still don't have much stamina for DDR, but I noticed after the last year of sprinting, I was doing better at ten footers, and things like the steps near the end of Paranoia Survivor, because my legs were moving faster.

Why, no worries, Timmy! There's always "intelligence drugs" you can turn to!

(oh yeah, drink more water than you think you can handle when working out--it's good)
