Cross Training Questions
Okay Cross Country runner turned slow?
I am cross country runner and in 10 grade. I ran all of track season and after. Then I ran all summer and i went to mammoth for extra training for a week. By the end of the summer, I ran 569 miles I was okay runner with a 18-12 for the three miles. Now for some reasons, everytime i do a workout iget tired or i am sore. My ankles started to bug me alot. Am I just overwork,tired,injured, or is nothing?

- I think you should take some rest, you are probably overworked. Go see a physical therapist he can help.
- It sounds like you are over trained. A good sign is to check your heart rate when you get up in the morning. You should have a low rate and if it starts to rise you are getting too much work. You need to take off for a week or 2. You can do some low impact, like biking, but go easy do not stress yourself. I always recommend runners to take a 2 week active rest period after each season. The ankle injury is another concern that should benefit from resting.
- I have to agre with the others. You should take a week or two off. I still would suggest that you so some light jogging every other day. if you just stop all together for that time your body could react wrong.
- well man looks like uve been over worked u no take like 3 days off running but u no go out and walk in the afternoon
