- just run every morning.
- A good way to train for cross country is to jog around your neighborhood. You can time yourself, and try to beat your time the next day.
- cross country isnt till next year, so i think you mean track. Either way....running and lifting weights is a great way to stay in shape.
- ok, first of all find someone to do it with you..its helps. i would just start with running a mile. keep it at a consistent pace and dont walk. even if you jog as slow as a walk keep jogging. every 3 days or so start adding distance. you also need to do speed workouts. go to a track and do 400m sprints...thats one lap. then walk a lap. do at least 5 to begin with. when you get in better shape you can do pyramids wich is start with springing 1 1/2 miles, then rest, then do 1 miles, then rest,..ect. make sure u up your protein intake, to build muscle, and drink lots of water. have fun! ps get some gooooooood shoes, they help a lot!
- Run across the great state of Alabama until you get to Greenbow. That's in Alabama.
- Get some guys or girls or both and run with them. It's almost impossible to stay motivated to run everyday so running with people helps. Don't make it a chore just kind of keep it fun. And DON'T keep running the same thing. It gets really really boring so just explore stuff.
- Well I guess you could train yourself by running every day or trying to at least and see how long you could run without stoping , but starting with a jog is always best for me .
- run forrest run
- when you cant run anymore, keep running
- Chose a friend you can run with every morning for like an hour or half an hour workseverytime
- I used to run Cross Country and I was actually training on my own because alot of my team mates didnt care for running. But what I did I would run between 4-6 miles a day you also have to stretch for at least for 20 minutes before you run you dont want to get injured.
