Yes, -5k (kilokelvins) would represent a temperature, but it's not physically meaningful in conventional terms, as temperatures cannot be negative in the Kelvin scale. The Kelvin scale starts at absolute zero (0 K), which is the lowest possible temperature where all thermal motion ceases. Therefore, a temperature of -5k is invalid.
Am I too old to take part in the 5k races?
Age is of very little importance to running a 5K race. As long as you are in good shape and are confident in your ability to complete your goal, you are able to take part in a 5K race.

What is the 5k walk time record?
As of my last update, the fastest recorded time for a 5K walk is 11:32, set by Miguel Angel López of Spain in 2018. This record is for race walking, which is a competitive form of walking that requires one foot to be in contact with the ground at all times. It's important to check the latest sources for any updates or new records, as these can change over time.
Will I be last in a high school cross country meet with a 25 minute 5k time?
it depends on which division youre running in. If in jv, you CANNOT possibly be last with a 25 minute 5k time. in varsity, it's cutting it close to the end though.
Is a 25 min 5k really slow if it's your first time in cross country?
Everyone has to start somewhere, but the truth is, not really. If I was running a 30 minute 5K, at age 15 or 16, I would plan on building strength, working really hard, and transforming my body and its capabilities. That age is a prime time for making big changes to your athleticism. Your body is just waiting for you to tell it what to adapt to. So work hard and go for it!
Last year Marika Crow of LS won all states in 5 flat. Her fastest 2 mile is 11:47. Andrea Keklak of LS is also very fast running a 4:49 mile, 11:09 2 mile, and won the 800 states in 2:06.
How do you get ready for a cross country high school meet?
i currently run cross country, and the best way to prepare for a meet is to run for about a month straight taking weekend off. Run about 45-50 minutes. In this time you will probably run over the 3 mile it takes to run a XC course. Before the race make sure you drink water and stretch properly. Hope this helps! :)
Eat properly the night before, get hydrated and get the right amount of sleep.
What should you do to relieve frequent muscle pain after running?
Surprisingly, it is thought that drinking a glass of milk will help with muscle aches.
----------------------------------------
It depends where the pain is.
If you are having side pains that you get when you run for awhile, it just means you're out of shape just run through it and the pain will go away sooner or later. If you stop running when you get the pain it won't work.
If you get pain on your back leg muscles, ice them, or walk on your tip toes that'll help a lot.
If you're having pain in your shins, ice is the best for that. And I mean the BEST. It will take awhile but still. Ice you legs for 15-30 minutes that take the ice off for 15-30 minutes then ice them again. Do that over and over and the pain should be gone.
If you're having stomach pain, ask yourself these questions: Did I eat before I start running?
Did I NOT eat before I started running?
Did I drink water today?
If you said yes to eating before running, don't eat to much. Eat an apple or a bannana about 5-10 min before you start running. If you didn't eat, same thing. Just eat an apple or a bannana. Not an orange or anything with acid. It can cause heartburn, eggs and milk will cause cramps.
If didn't drink at least two bottles of water, you may be dehydrated. Make sure you drink water when you plan to run.
After running, like what the person said above milk can help with some pains. BUT only some, and not just normal milk. Chocolate milk. Chocolate milk has the sugar that you need, and just enough to fill up your stomach too. (I'm always hungry after running.)
I have ran cross-country and track for two years, these are what I do and what my coaches have told me to do. So I do know what I am talking about when it comes to pains while running.
Is soccer or cross country worse for your lower back and hip muscles?
Probably soccer, because you move in different directions a lot.

What is a good pace for a freshman girl in a cross country race?

Is it good to chew mint gum before running longer races?
No, it is much better to have a BBQ Cheddar burger from Whataburger before the race!
That's fine, but don't chew during the race! : ). You should eat lot's of carb and drink water, but not too much or you'll get a cramp!
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
NO! NEVER chew mint gum before doing ANYTHING physical, but especially running!
When you chew mint gum, it has a negative effect on your body. Have you noticed that when you drink water after chewing mint gum your throat feels cold and water upsets your stomach? Thats because of the reaction between your throat and the gum. It constricts your airways and can make you nausious. It also slightly lowers your stamina because you're not getting enough oxygen. If you were to still chew gum, chew fruit gum, as it doesn't have this effect.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
No no no, I have ran cross-country for 2 years and only did that mistake once. Not mint gum, or anything mint really. In fact, fruit gum is better. But make sure it doesn't have a lot of sugar.
Drink water, and the best food EVER arebanana's not oranges, nothing with acid, butbanana'sare the BEST FOOD EVER BEFORE A RACE. They have what you need.
Apples and stuff like that are good too. No milk, nothing with to much fat, and no eggs either.
What is a dual meet in cross country?

How do you build a discus ring?
- Step1
Attach the rope. Attach the rope to the spike. You will be using the spike as the center of the ring.
- Step2
Measure the rope. The diameter of a discus ring is 96.5 inches, the rope till need to measure 48.25 inches in order to create the perfect discus-ring diameter. To ensure proper measuring, measure from the spike to the tip of the rope.
- Step3
Drive the spike. If the temporary discus ring is being placed on a soft surface, drive the spike into the ground to hold. If the surface is hard, have someone hold the spike in the center of the proposed ring.
- Step4
Take a walk. Pull the rope tight and being to walk in a circle. Using the can of spray paint, paint the ground at the tip of the rope.
- Step5
Erect the cage. By track and field regulations, throwing competitions must have a cage with a net surrounding the ring. This cage, while increasing safety, is an optional precaution for practice rings.
