so what's my goal in time?

Answer 1

Train with Cross Country.

Just doing a mile or couple miles each day won't really do it.

You should be doing at least more than 5 miles per day.

Cause believe me...

Everyone gets really sore after the marathon.

It doesn't really matter what you get for your mile time.

You need to work on endurance & pacing.

Just make sure to lots of miles per day.

& Don't forget to drink lots of water to keep you hydrated!
