Will i be able to keep up with everyone in xc in high school?

Question

if i can run 3 miles in 25mins will i be able to keep up with everyone in high school?

Answer 1

yea, you will do fine. You wont be at the head of the pack (at least at first) but in the middle. There are some girls who will start the season not being able to run for 15 minutes and other girls who will race the 5k in 30 min.

Answer 2

yeah i think you can. prob not the fastest girl, but you are average. running 3 miles for a cross country runner should be like 20-25 ish min. so your right there. good luck!!!! :)

Answer 3

ya yuo'll be fine. just keep practicing and you'll get faster

Answer 4

prob the girls. depends on how fast everyone else is

Answer 5

I hate to tell you, but 3 miles in 25 minutes in pretty slow. I've been running XC since I was 10, (Im now a sophomore) and on our team we have all of our top five girls running under 25 for sure, and our team didn't even make past conference. I don't want to burst your bubble but you'd better start doing some serious summer training to be in good enough shape to be "able to keep up with everyone."

Answer 6

you'll definitely be able to keep up. In all of the races I've been in there has always people who finish in the high 20's. Just keep training hard and maybe you'll get even faster :)
