Are you more likely to get arthritis if you run cross country?
no because your blood is pumping and not just sitting in one spot so no
If you can sprint at the end of a race does it mean you haven't worked hard enough?
It depends on the race, but in general you should have a little energy left for the kick at the end. If you still have energy after the race then you probably didn't run to the best of your abilities, but sprinting at the end is normally a good thing.
How do you stop gagging at the end of a cross country race?
Gagging at the end of a race can mean several things:
1) You may have eaten too close to the race. I always avoid eating anything 2 hours before a cross country race. Avoid milk, banana's, apples and oranges, and cheese before a race.
2) You may have gone very anaerobic and/or built up so much lactic acid that you are gagging merely because of how hard you've run. You can overcome this by training harder and getting used to being anaerobic.
3) You may have an overly developed gag reflex. This one would require a doctor to diagnose you, and then to suggest treatment (if there is one).
I am not full sure, its more about how you train. If you train well then you will do good, just keep training.
I am a 12 yr old girl. I can run 1 mile in about 5-6 minutes. The average 13 yr old boy runner is probably takes 6-7 minutes for 1 mile, The average 13 yr old boy takes about 8-12 minutes to run a mile. If you are in high school you have to run a 5K! That is 3 miles. I only have to run a 2 mile race because I am in 6th grade. The time I take for that is about 11 minutes!
Should you run a 10k the day after a 5k?
No, the amount of strain you put on your body in a fast race (eg.5k) is tremendous! Doing easy running for the next day or two or even just resting or cross-training is recommended for recovery. You put yourself at an increased chance of injury by racing back-to-back.

Where is the best place to buy Cross country spikes?
There are several options.
I live in Oregon, and the best place here, is Portland Running Co. Their shop specializes in athletic shoes, and the staff watch you run in the shoes.
I suggest checking out local running stores, where you're more likely to find service similar to Portland Running Co.
Other options such as Nike or Joes are also great places with helpful staff.
At the age of thirteen what is the average time to run nine miles?
It really depends! Although age can factor in to maturity levels, training capacity, and laws (and other stuff) that are relevent to the running, ones speed and endurance is really determinded throught cardiovascular strength and endurance, muscle strength and endurance, running form, proper nutrtion and hydration, and height (which may help but is not necessary with stride lenghth). Throught common sense a toddler should not run nine miles but someone at age thirteen can easily. my best nine mile is a 54 minute but i am a advance older runner, a long run like nine miles should be slow for LDS training even if your averaging nine minute miles it is still excellent.
Why do children do school cross country?
