So, who else runs?

Pre-College Issues High School Life

<p>Run cross country and spring track. We did 50-60 miles/week last year with my old XC coach, but this year my coach took it down to 30-40 miles/week. My PR is a 21:30 5k, not great. In my defense, however, I’m more of a short distance guy.</p>

<p>Track last year, I basically did everything. At various points in the season, I ran the 200, 400, 800, 400 hurdles, 4x100, 4x200, and the 4x800, in addition to doing long jump and triple jump. My best event was the 200, second on the team in 26.8.</p>

<p>soooooo many ethnically related jokes I could be making…but won’t xD xD xD xD xD xD xD xD xD xD xD xD xD</p>

<p>I’m guessing you’re a girl thsfan?</p>

<p>And daxlo, that will help with speed but not endurance. Though you might be able to get away with doing elliptical stuff for endurance.</p>

44

<p>I ran 6 yesterday and 6.5 today</p>

<p>sooo sore…</p>

<p>why is everyone on CC so talented at everything…</p>

<p>(as in they are much more talented than me and other people)</p>

45

<p>I run… FROM THE POLICE</p>

46

<p>@hahalolk…no…my school’s just very slow.</p>

<p>And a senior on the team when I was a freshman actually did use XC to run from the cops. He was at a party that got busted, jumped a fence and took off. Back at practice the next day extolling the virtue of mile repeats.</p>

47

<p>guess only the non athletically gifted can appreciate the remark by MITHopeful?</p>

48

<p>One of my teachers runs a marathon in about 2 hours and 40 minutes.</p>

<p>He is fast!</p>

<p>@thsfan: Yeah, you might need a new coach. You should not be running 21:30 as a guy after 50-60 miles per week. I could understand if you were a girl (because that would be a solid, though not amazing time for a girl), but as a guy I suspect you are running your miles completely wrong.</p>

<p>Do you get recovery days every other day? Do you train consistently?</p>

50

<p>I agree ^</p>

<p>I ran like 30 miles a week and got a bit over 20 minutes… which still is nothing compared yo you guys</p>

51

<p>@Shushagan. Not really. I understood it but, i just didn’t remark on it.</p>

<p>PR for the 5k is almost 20 mins. It’s like a couple seconds less than 20.</p>

52

<p>CROSS COUNTRY! <3</p>

<p>Love, love running. Although, I have legit anxiety at cross country meets. At the starting line I feel like I am about to pass out.</p>

53

<p>me too, it’s my downfall, can’t concentrate on myself long enough to do well.</p>

54

<p>I get nervous before meets, which sucks, but I seriously get anxiety attacks when I know I’m not doing well. I mean I start having trouble breathing and it ****es me off. It happened once during an xc meet last year, and a couple times during practice this year.</p>

55

<p>I run cross country, but I’m slow… My time for a 5k is 20:59. It’d probably be better if I trained more. If I really tried, I bet I could get my time down to around 18:00. The allergy season was horrible for the last xc season, so it messed w/ my breathing. Not very fun.</p>

56

<p>I run, but I’ve been pretty lazy the last month or two… I’m lucky if I get in 5 days of consecutive running. I could run 4:36 in the mile and ten flat in the 3200… hopefully I’ll be able to beat those times despite my off-season laziness lol. I wasn’t very good at xc comparatively. I barely broke 17 minute for a 5k.</p>
