Well Cross Country Practice has officially began here in Virginia.
We have had some hard workouts so far ranging from
16 x 400m
2 x 2 miles
4 x Mile
6 Mile Tempo Run
5 Mile Tempo Run
15 times a 500m Hill
hehe but for a sprinter im doing quite well. I'm currently 10th on the team and will be running varsity for the first two meets. The first meet Dan is on vacation, Nick isn't going to run due to coach's orders, and Mike is injured. So i get to run. At the second meet we can run 10 people in Varsity. YAY!!
so im happy... so far my times for different splits have been...
5 Mile Tempo- 36:14 (If Evenly split average mile of 7:14.8 a PR by 8:46)
6 Mile Tempo- 42:54 (Fastest Split 6:46. If evenly split average mile of 7:09)
2 Mile Time Trial Course- 12:23 (PR by 2:26 Mile Splits of 5:43 or 5:53 first mile and the second mile was either 6:30 or 6:40 I didn't hear the first mile split so its either of those)
4 x Mile- First mile 6:04, 6:01, 6:01, 6:00
Fastest Mile Split so far: 5:43 or 5:53 which ever it may be from the 2 mile time trail.
Fastest 3 mile split from the 4 x mile workout. 18:02
HEHE its shaping up to be a good season... considering I'm PRing left and right and just dominating.
AND REMEBER IM A SPRITNER!!! HAHAHAHAHA
ya and people say sprinters are lazy... gah!
Cross Country Is fun...lets just hope i improve this much in track
biggrin

wow...I am impressed! (because your a sprinter.) We've gotten some sprinters on cross country but they burn out way too fast. Cross country helped my mile time a lot even when i was going slow so hopefully it will be inevitable that you will get better. Plus i believe the more you run the more it strengthens your mind so you will be better to match what you already have physically!

im on the varsity cross country team even though im only 13 and in 8th grade, and i am currently number 2 on the team and are team has a good chance of winning the counties this year!! yay!! My fastest time for three miles so far was 20minutes and 48 seconds. but it would be better except the course that the races are on has the hardest hill to run in all of new york so ya know that sometimes adds on some time sweatdrop but its been a great season so far and i love cross country!!!! sooooooooo much fun!!!
