You get to 'train' two runners: one runs the 400m, the other competes
in the 800m and 1500m. You don't really train them, though - just
control them during races which are viewed in 3-D, with your
viewpoint just behind your runner.
You have to adjust the runner's pace to keep up with the computer
runners but also conserve enough energy for a fast finish. In easy
mode, you automatically run in your lane, unless you move left/right
to change lanes.
On the harder skill level, you have to manually
steer around the track bends. That's about it, really: do well
enough in local meets and you get to the big championships and
attempt a world record. Fun for a while but very limited.
