High School Cross Country Running?

  • I've never ran competitively before, but I play lots of tennis and jog/ run on the treadmill sometimes for that. I want to build my endurance for tennis and join cross country at ...show more

  • Answer:

    i had the long distance and cross country record for a long time when i woz back at school, i started when i woz about 8, maybe 9. the only thing u really need to remember when it comes to competative long distance running is to PACE YOURSELF!! if u go on jogs you know what i mean but its SO hard to do that when u have all this adrenaline and the urge to keep at the front when the race starts, but if u do u do that, u will burn yourself out. theres no way u can keep that up. i always stuck near the bunch of ppl at the front of the race, but i would never lead the race. the ppl that led it could never keep that pace up all the way round. and at the end i would ALWAYS sprint the last bit to overtake everyone that had burnt themselves out!

Scoring is based on the times that a team gets collectively, the lower the team's time, the higher on the scoreboard they will be. Also it is segregated into your running level and your grade. While CC is distance, it is not jogging, most people will run the coarse flat out and that is what we call "studly". lol just do your best and eat right and stay hydrated and you'll be fine.

XC is a pretty intense sport. You just have to be committed. Although its just running its very hard because a lot of the times coaches do lots of various exercises like fartleks, speed workouts, easy runs ect. Equipment is basically running shoes most likely just one pair but if you want another pair that would be a good idea too. Scoring is based on who comes first in the races and then points are determined there
