Any really good Cross Country Workouts?

Question

Okay, I recently got a job and I am unable to do Cross Country. I am a heavier girl and I want to keep my weight down my practicing on my own. I just dont know where to start. I know the basics and stuff like that, it is just, I am doing this on my own. I need help. I am very upset that I am not able to do Cross Country. Jobs dont come a dime a dozen. I have to have the money to go to college and I want to keep up on my running, and in hopes that I will have my drivers linsense soon, stay in shape for track (I am a shot put thrower and a discus thrower, 100 dash, 4X100 runner, and 1600m runner) I need help. Please if you have any ideas tell me!! You can email me at [e-mail] that would rock too! Thank you...

Answer 2

There is a lot of workouts you could do and keep in shape. If you haven't been running in a long time then you should start with the basics.... 30 min run 15 out 15 back... then as time goes add more time to your run.. do that for like at least a month. It may seem boring but it will help you stay in shape. After try to do a 7 mile run. I'm a cross country runner and I'm in training right now this is all we're doing. Then later on we start doing workouts on the track. 6 by 800's 4 by 1600's. Trust me it will help a lot.
