Cross Country Racing

for junior high they run 2 miles and high school runs 3 miles

They're a lot of different races,

1k's, 2k's, 3k's, 4k's, 5k's, and other Ks. LOL! Middle school usually does 3k's. High school does 5k's, and then you get to choose.

If your talking your average high school runner, they run about 20-30 miles a week. If your talking your average collegiate runner, they run about 60-70 miles/week. Professionals i think run about 100-120 miles/week, i wouldn't see the benefit in running any more.

It is unknown exactly when Cross Country was invented. This is because man himself have been racing against each other sense the caveman era. It was deemed to be "manly" to be the faster man in the tribe. Over time, the races became more sophisticated and organized, to the point of where it is at today.

in 1999, a man from morocco called Hicham El Guerrouj ran the mile in 3:43:13

A 5k race is about 3.1 miles. A marathon is about 26.2 miles. There is no such race as a "5k marathon."

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.
