Cross Country Racing

Side aches when exercising are very common and you can prevent them by doing a very thorough warm up and cool down before and after you workout. If you get a cramp when running lean in the direction of the ache and it sometimes goes away. Try not to eat or drink too much right before exercising but remember to drink plenty several hours before working out

I have had very good success with a free web site called Halhigdon.com. This is a person that is an authority in runnin many distances and has held US records for certain age groups. His site will allow you to download training plans for various distances 5 k - marathons as well as to pick out a plan for a beginner, intermediate or advanced. I like his plans as they allow the runner to have hard days followed by easy days, track days and hill days and usually one day off for rest. I have rarely found a person that follows his training plan to be hurt. Some plans are so "advanced" that the runner can not get to the starting line without an injury. Most of his plans require 10 - 18 weeks of training.

it was a symbol of Jesus dieing on the cross!

Continuous training is very popular by cyclers or marathon runners because continuous training improves both, endurance fitness and muscular fitness. IT IMPROVES VERY WELL THE CARDIOVASCULAR FTNESS

The usual distance of a middle school cross country race is 1.9 - 2.3 miles. so about 2 miles.

I know Lance Armstrong has ran a marathon, it was either Boston or New York(cant exactly remebmer)

The human body is a biochemical machine. It uses the chemical energy in food to power the muscles it uses to run. The energy in food, water, and the oxygen in air combine to make the body of the runner work.

Around 21 minutes and 40 seconds

The cast of Double-Cross-Country Race - 1951 includes: Jackson Beck as Count Noah Count Jack Mercer as Popeye Mae Questel as Olive Oyl

The purpose of using Icy Hot gel before a 5K race, is to loosen up the muscles. This just means you are less likely to pull a muscle and have to stop racing.

The officials:

Set up and measure out the course

Time the runners

Fire the starting gun

Make sure runners go the right way on the trails

Usher runners the right way after the race

In a chip-timed race: take off chips

Hold a coaches' meeting

In a numbered race: Hand out numbers, collect number stubs.

Most officials will just be course marshals, those who cheer on the runners and make sure they go the right way.

Hope this helped, and that I didn't forget anything!!

6.524 miles

it depends if the course has a lot of hills or not. going up hills usually slow a person down so the time would be slower. other than that, i think 22 minutes is a really good time. i'm about the fourth fastest runner on my team right now and i use to run 22's, i just recently broke 22 and i ran high 21's..so if you're running about a 22, you can definitely hit 21 minutes so keep it up !

Your core supports you when you run, and having a strong core will keep you going when you're tired. --------------------------------------------------------------------------

It is very important to have good core strength, it'll help your body be used to running for a long time without any breaks. Especially since in cross-country you have run on hills, in mud, gravel, rivers, and anything really. Cross-country isn't like track and has just one type of ground. Which means you need a lot more strength in certain areas.

It means running in that direction.

everyone has been either dehydrated or in the process of becoming dehydrated at least once in their lives. the average human needs to drink about 6-8 glasses of water a day. a runner(especially a cross country runner) needs to drink at least 9 to replenish the water he/she has lost during a run.

It is probably better to do them before your run. This way you will have better posture because you aren't tired yet.

At the least run 3 miles each day Saturday is an easy day and take Sunday off. With this you should be running about 16-17 miles a week.

^wrong. im a decently fast HS runner (17 minute 5K as sophmore). You will want to be putting 30-40 miles a week. take 1 day off. Have 2-3 days of workouts. easy days before/after races and long runs on the other days. If you are in HS your coach should know something about what you need to be doing. 16 miles a week will not make you faster.

No, you will not be disqualified.

I am a cross country runner myself and i didn't get disqualfied for helping a teammate up
