In speed skating, you do what called a relay. One person is skating on the track at a time, and when they finish a pre-determined number of laps, a team mate comes out onto the track in front of the skater, and the skater that is finishing his laps, pushes the new skater. That skater then goes and skates his laps and so on. There are different distances of relays. Yourger skaters might skate a 1500m relay. Teenagers might do a 3km relay. And when you get into distance relays in long track, you could do a marathon relay (42km).
If you can swim 20 laps around the track in 2 hours what is the average speed
The men's 5000m speed skating event in the Winter Olympics is equivalent to 5 kilometers. Skaters complete 12.5 laps around a 400m track to cover the distance.
4 laps if it's a regular 400m track. Like the track at football fields you see in high school.
0.75 laps of a 400m track or 1.5 laps of a 200m track.
A standard running track has 400 m in one lap. The 800 m race is therefore 2 laps of the track.
2 miles is 8 laps of a standard 400 meter track.
In middle school track and field there are ONLY 4 races:Sprints:100m (strait line and 1/4 of the track)200m (half the track and around a curve)distance:800m (2 laps)1500m (3 and 3/4 laps)
Depends on the track. If it is a standard 400 meter track, it will be eight laps. If it is indoors it will be about thirteen.
The length of the track determines this. A quarter mile track would be 3 laps to equal .75 mile.
An 800 is two laps in an outside track and 4 laps in a indoor track
If you start running at the beginning of a straightaway on a standard track, you run three laps then stop at the beginning of final curve. (3 3/4 laps).
