Answer 3

On fridays our cross country team has a FAR run. (forgot what FAR stands for) one person on the team hosts a run at their neighborhood. that one person can make a run of his own around his neighborhood. Running a new trail can make running fun. After practices the person who host the run provides refreshment and in some cases the host has a pool and after a short run the cross country swim could take a swim.

Let people listen to music

If that fails, then take them to a nice place, make a day out of it and like have a barbecue afterwards or something, then they'll come :)

Answer 5

some runs u could do, are indian runs, where about 5 people run in a line right behind each other and the person in the back has to sprint to the front of the line, becoming the ffirst person in line, then the new back person has to sprint to the front. idk some people like it others think its torture.

u could do a soda mile. boys prefer this more than girls, its when u run a timed mile on the track, but the catch is u have to drink a can of soda everytime u finish a lap.

if u don't want to do a soda mile, do a french fry run. girls do this one more.  u run like to different restaurants in town and every fasst food place u have to stop and eat a thing of french fries. u can make up ur own routes.

otherwise just make up different routes to run. nobody likes running the same thing everyday

We used to do running in a pool.  Either as the practice, or after a short practice, if people needed a break/day off.

Well I don't know how much running was done in the pool, it was more water polo than running.

Other practices were either out in the woods, through town, or on the track.  Enough variety to not get bored.
