Cross Country Racing

The range of a college XC meets can range from a 5K (2.98-3.1 miles), 8K (4.8-5 miles), or 10K (5.9-6.1 miles).

Typically 5K (3.1 miles) or 6K (3.8) for women and 8K (4.8) for men.

Yes, He does. He resigned with them in 2007 if im not mistaken. Then recently again in 2008. I believe that was a 3 Year contract he just signed.

Hope that answers your question!!

Might be interesting as a spectator sport to watch at the finish line. As a participant it would be a grueling test of endurance. The current World record time for the Marathon is two hours four minutes and 26 seconds and extending the distance by almost four times would certainly mandate a slower pace.

an awesome time would be about 6m- 6m 30s. Believe it or not I'm also 14 and p.r. for a 2k run is 5m 37s.

Sure, if you are a good runner! I am a 12 yr old girl. You usually run 2 miles for a race. I can finish that in 10-12 minutes.

If you are a hardcore cross country runner that runs every day, the shoes will inevitably get worn down. But if they are only worn down in a certain spot, it might mean that you are running on your feet in a certain way or maybe have a high/ really low arch. Orthodics could correct the problem

Yes...he had an older and younger sister, the latter (Linda) played tennis at the University of Oregon.

Some ideas for beginning the planning process:

* Take a look at a big map and pick some prime spots you definitely want to see.

* Calculate more time than you think you need. Your vehicle might break down or you may decide in the middle to stop somewhere you hadn't planned for (that can happen a lot).

* Speak to people who have done it. There's a lot of great advice out there, waiting to be taken.

You do not need a degree. But you must be licensed. There are coaching degrees though that could help you get a job

Why does this seem so appealing to you that you need to ask this question on a public website.

There are a few precautions to take:

1) First of all, you should not be running long distances if you did not gradually (over many weeks/months) increase the distance you are running. If you try to dramatically increase the distance you run in a short time period, your risk for injury of all types will go up - including calf injury.

2) you should be adequately stretched out before you run - in this case stretch your gastrocnemeus (calf) as well as your soleus (muscle under the calf). to stretch your soleus, bend your knee before leaning forward with your foot flat.

3) Do your long run on a surface that you are trained for. If you are used to running on the cinder grinds of a track, then try to run long distance on road pavement, you will be more likely to feel calf pain.

4) Be sure your running shoes are appropriate for your feet and your gait. Also be sure your running shoes are not too old. Old shoes lose shock absorbing ability.

5) Proper Biomechanics. This is very complex and beyond ability to convey in written form.

6) Be sure you have had sufficient rest prior to running long distance.

Good luck!

All it does is get your cardio up, so yes, it helps you get in shape which is one thing you need for basketball.

He died in a car accident after a party in Eugene, Oregon on May 30.

His blood-alcohol level at the time of his death has been disputed, but it was presumed he was drinking before taking the wheel after a party.

Use the restroom an hour or two before the race.
Eat easily digestible foods about an hour or two before the race such as bananas, granola bars, etc. The night before eat high-carb foods.

People do not see it as so because they do not like running. Running is on of the hardest things to do. Cross Country and Track (distance) are the hardest sports in the world because you need discipline, mental toughness, endurance, and speed. Other sports aren't used to having to actually do work and stay healthy. They eat and drink what they want. If anyone tells you that cross country isn't a sport and it takes no talent, skill, or thought, invite them on a run.

They're typically flat-soled, which doesn't provide much protection from the trauma to the ankle that runs all the way up to the spine you'll experience from long-distance running. Getting a pair specifically for jogging would be best.

Most likely no considering a decent to fairly good mile split for a 16 year old girl would be around 6:00 minutes per mile which would equal only 5 miles in a 30 minute time window. For anyone to finish a 9.5 mile in 30 minutes they would have to be averaging faster than 3:30 for each mile. This is almost impossible considering the woman's world record for the mile is 4:12.56.

In 1878, William C. Vosburgh (New York) introduced the sport of cross-country running to the United States. He got the idea from the English, who established their national cross-country championship in 1876.

The displacement would be 0 because displacement is the distance between where you start and where you end so if you end in the same place you start, your displacement is 0.
