Answer 1

No, but instead of seeing how many minutes u do, try and see how many miles you can do because no one  can help you if we dont know how fast your going.

Answer 2

Ok. I am a cross country runner running 5:00 miles as a sophmore here are a few ticks i use to help mysel improve i run a variety of work outs that can help u on ur tredmill

monday: On your tredmill or outside go for a 20 minute run. Then wait 15 minutes or 20 minutes and then go for a 5-7 mile run or 45 minute-1 hour run.

tuesday: Today go nice and easy 40 minute run or 4 mile run. =)

wednesday: ok today is going to be h**l but today is going to make you so happy in the end go do hills on the steepist hill you know you will do this hill 2-4 intervuls as hard s you can or you can go do fartlicks or speed work this is a very fun workout you run as hard as you can for a minute or 2 and then slow down to your normal pace and continue this every five minutes. ok.

Thursday: is another easy day.

Friday: Is a distance day go 7-8 miles but right now go 5-8.

Weekend: Bike 10 miles.

Do this every week and be successful(THE BEST OF LUCK)

Answer 3

yes it is very healthy... the average adult should get at the very minimum 1/2 hour of excersize per day and a child should get 1 full hour... it is very healthy to do this and also dont count on wieght to drop so fast because u build up muscle and it wieghs more than fat. Also just because you have strong muscles doesnt mean it will show if it is hidden under fat.... stop eating c**p and you will be skinny. GL

Answer 4

you should stop running and gain 100 pounds.

Answer 5

give yourself recovery days every once in a while when your body needs it.  in the long run, recovery days are the best times to build muscle mass as it heals.  check out www.runnersworld.com for beginners running tips and training schedule :)

Answer 8

no

in xc the fat people run just as much as the not fat people

you really have to get a good stretch in before that though

and an even better after

it is awsome that you are running ! but it is nice out! try running outside :)

Answer 9

you're not running to much i do 5-8 miles a day and i way 87lbs and am 5'3 and im a freshmen in high school. but you will be sore because your muscles are starting to actually work out

Answer 10

take breaks once and a while

maybe run for 3 days and then take a break for a day to go out with friends or with your pet outside

then do 3 more days.. then a break

your body will get more used to it

and for now take some Advil to get your muscles not as sore :]

Answer 11

most people run almost 5miles a day.
