So I am about to start cross country, in 2 months to be exact. And I would like to be on varsity. Now I know that may sound crazy considering this is my first year doing high school cross country, and we have an amazing team. But, my sister has been in cross country forever (about 4 years) and we ran 4 miles today and I beat her by about 3 mintues. So my question is what should I do to ensure that I will do good in cross country? How much should I run a day? How to practice hills? Is jump roping with weights on my ankle a good idea? How often a day should I run, like is it bad to run a long distance in the morning and then work on hills and sprints at night? I really just don't know a lot about cross country so any advice is great! thanks everyone!
