I am training for track season, more specifically, the mile distance. What kind of weight training exercises do you recommend?
I am a 14 year-old high school student. The first track meet is in 3 months.

well u should do some swimming as it uses both leg and arm muscles. it is good to do a little bit of work on your arms as the higher u move them the faster and longer u can run. also with swimming u cant see if your sweating or not and you do not smell like sweat.

Keep running during your practice but lift every muscle group. Lift for strength and run for endurance thats what my xc team does. Lift upper body, lower body, and do core workouts.

You are a long distance runner plus you are only fourteen years , so this would be the right time for weights even if you want to

Your event doesnt require so much of weight training anyway, as it doesnt require explosiveness
