How Can I Prepare My Body For Cross Country? My First Practice Is In Two Weeks?

Question

I'm going into high school and chose cross country as a sport. I own a tread mill which i go on like once a week. I have a lot of thigh muscles and i'm pretty long but i know cross country is more about stamina and i want to know how to increase mine.

Answer 1

Start running about 15-20 miles a week. After each week increase your mileage by 5 miles each week. Two weeks is tough to get in shape but this should help more than once a week.

Glad to see you will be joining a great sport!

Answer 2

run every single day for a good 20 minutes. Also running hills can help you increase your stanima. good luck! cross country is so much fun!

Answer 3

well first of all if all you've is run on a tredmill then ur really gonna be shocked in two weeks becuz u run trails and lots of em and also its really about how far u can go not how fast u can run. if u can 4 miles without stoping ur pretty much good. and as u go u get faster and faster so keep running but be prepared for some hard work outs trust me its not all about running its gonna take hard work a dedication. good luck:)
