How do I build Endurance with Cross Country?

Question

I am taking up cross country in my sophomore year and I am a little worried that i might die (not really...figuratively) anyway, i have played soccer for 10 or 12 years but i have very little endurance(i am a sprinter)

We have practice everyday, any tips on how i should pace myself or prepare myself so i can raise my endurance?

Answer 1

While you are running try not to stop!!

also push yourself to go farther as you start to get better

a good way to get your mind of of the hard work is listening to your ipod or running with a friend.

Hope This Helps.

Answer 2

Run everyday except for Wednesdays and Sundays. Build up your mileage slowly.  

Answer 3

well if what you need is endurance then try swimming once in awhile when you have the time, doing suicideds, and jumping rope. I did all these things before i joined my schools soccer team and i never had as much endurance as i have now. hope i help and good luck with the cross country thing.
