Cross Training Questions
A late start for cross country summer training program?
I just found out today that a cross country training program at my high school has been going on this summer for a month so far. I knew nothing about it. (Maybe because I'm going to be a freshman.) I've tried to run on my own, but all I have been able to reach is a bit over a mile. They are already running 4 miles at the school. There is still one month of training left. Do you think I should try to go to practice (there is one tomorrow)? How much should I try to run if I do go? Last year I was probably the second or third fastest runner on my team. The top runner has left, leaving me as probably the 2nd or 3rd fastest freshman.

- if u can only run a little over a mile ur screwed u should be able to run a lot of miles i would just wait till next year becasue if u go u will be the alowest one on the team just train at home until track starts up
- definitely go out and run for the team. if you were one of the fastest runners at the school than you probably have potential. yes if you go out you will be behind for awhile but you will catch up much sooner than you probably think. It will initially be some hard work but it'd definitely be worth it. besides you can probably tell yourself that you will just run by yourself if you dont do cross country with the school but you probably wont be able to motivate yourself, especially if your just starting as you are. I say go and run for the team
- go out for the team try to find a friend to run with on the team i'm a senior at Buena High and if you're in Ventura then you should try to find Mark Burnell i'm out of shape too and we could run together it may sound wierd but it works reach out to someone tomorow
