How are you preparing for fall sports?

<p>Oh, I didn’t know they were that good. Im just play for fun. I’ll look into either cross-country or ultimate frisbee. Those are the only two sports, besides wrestling, that are attractive to me. ( I hate running, though haha)!</p>

<p>First, I noticed this thread because of the title, even though I go to a public school. I wanted to see what other runners are doing. And this:

does not work. If you intend on being good, you have to run at least 35 miles a week, with 50 being preferable. I can understand if you are a freshman, but if not, you need to run more. Good luck!</p>

<p>hey deezul this is a bit off topic but heres a video of a campus tour of NMH is shows the wrestling gym. [YouTube</a> - Campus Tour: Northfield Mount Hermon](<a href=“Campus Tour: Northfield Mount Hermon - YouTube”>Campus Tour: Northfield Mount Hermon - YouTube)</p>

<p>Umm… During cross country practice, how far do you run?</p>

<p>Thanks eukalyptus, nice video. I actually visited NMH in March. Its a nice campus. I just got to focus on maintaining my grades, and continuing my success on the wrestling mat. As of now, however, I am trying to decide on a second sport that i should compete in. (havent played any other sport other than wrestling, but whatever fall sport i choose must get me in better shape for wrestling season)</p>

<p>1st semester I am taking 1) PG English 2) Pre calculus 3) Honors Chemistry
2nd semester I am taking 1) Ceramics 2) Ethics 3) AP Physics 4 ) Calculus</p>

<p>I’ll be pretty busy with athletics, as well as, academics :)</p>

<p>For cross country I’ve been running almost every day (but not keeping track of my miles). Last week I didn’t run at all, but I still feel in shape. Today I ran a practice 5k at around 24:30. (I’m a girl). I hope to get better though. How much does arm strength matter, because I’ve been doing nothing for it.</p>

<p>o.o. this makes me feel so fat and lazy. I’m doing soccer and I’ve just been jogging every day, doing loads of situps, pushups, the sixty second/6inches(that thing kills), and just trying to eat A LOT healthier.</p>

<p>What is sixty second/6 inches?</p>

<p>now doing rowing camp. lol feeling productive!</p>

<p>I love how all of you are prepping for sports its quite funny</p>

<p>anyways i have been doing nothing except for a couple of college camps earlier in the summer</p>

<p>To urban flop, its when you lay on your back, hands on your sides, and put your legs up 6 inches for a minute+. It hurts in the stomach area. A lot. At first.:)</p>

<p>^ Oh, I call that leg lifts; I used to do it when I was on the cross country team…I have actually begun to do it again during this summer.</p>

<p>@preppy4peddie, I raise both my upper body and my legs :P</p>

<p>oh, @nerdgeekdork: yeah some people lift their upper body every few seconds. That’s a pretty good exercise:D</p>

<p>Okay, I’m confused about Exeter’s cross country schedule. The schedule for girls is here: [Phillips</a> Exeter Academy | 2010 Girls Varsity & JV Cross Country](<a href=“http://www.exeter.edu/athletics/3165_20974.aspx]Phillips”>http://www.exeter.edu/athletics/3165_20974.aspx). The one for guys is here: [Phillips</a> Exeter Academy | 2010 Boys Varsity & JV Cross Country](<a href=“http://www.exeter.edu/athletics/3165_20971.aspx]Phillips”>http://www.exeter.edu/athletics/3165_20971.aspx). I’m guessing that these are not the final schedules. Shouldn’t the guys and the girls run about the same meets? Does every member of the team normally run 16 meets?</p>

<p>Plus, the “about” page says they run 11 meets plus interschols.</p>
