Cross countryers/runners come

YO IDK IF IM BUILT FOR THIS SHIT I HAVE 1K POSTS ON VLR
AND MY OLD CRUSH PLUS UR BF ARE ON THE TEAM

tips?

cross country is really more of a mental sport than people think

you need to fight against any urge to slow down/stop, these are killers for races
a clear head during a race and focusing on each next step you take (metaphorically and literally) will help you greatly
as long as you push yourself each and every time you run, your times eventually will improve (ofc, at a certain point you do need to begin a certain training regimen/etc to get faster, but that's once you start getting really really fast)

also get good shoes, bad shoes will hurt your feet and are generally just not enjoyable to run in

upd: made the team 🙏🗣️

Just keep working and the results will come. I started running in the summer of freshman year and ran 19:40 for my first 5k. Now I am going into junior year. My pr is 17:00 from sophmore year but I hope to run around 16:00. I probably won’t run in college since I am not a star, but I will continue to stay fit.

its more attractive to try hard at something youre not good at than just being good at something

Ngl I feel like im getting better endurance no cap 🗣️

Is it normal to shit before practice most of the time
