Cross-Country Question?

Question

pre-information

heyy;

i am just becoming a freshman, and i'm the only one doing it from our grade. [im a girl]

So, I haven't been staying with the pack of girls so far [last week and part of this week] . They all are very good, and I ended up being able to stay with 2 other girls for the 6 miles today. I am going away for 1 week, then coming back to run for a week, then leaving two weeks and then about 2 weeks before time trials.

Question:

how long do you estimate it will take to be able to run with the other girls?

Answer 1

it all depends on if you run while you are away. i run cross country myself and one time i went on vaction for a week. during my vaction i didnt run, but i did bike far everyday. i also swam in the ocean everyday. when i came back from the beach i had never felt better. i was able to run with guys i had never run with before.

if you do decide to run dont do too much. try to throw in other things such as biking and swimming while on vaction. you never know what might happen.

the best of luck to you

sincerely, a fellow runner

~RUN LIKE h**l~

Answer 2

it depends. just keep running and try your best!  it doesnt matter if you are good or bad, just have fun with it.

Answer 3

well if your naturally good you don"t need to practice a lot but when you practice in a pack the goal is not to leave you teammates  behind so they probably adjust the pace for you and the other runners you should just try and stay in shape when your not practicing with them thats key
