I’m planning to do cross country as my main sport next year (high school freshman) and I need a lot of advice and tips because running tests you mentally and I need to be prepared for that. How many miles should I start with during the summer? Thanks. :)

Sam asked:

I am thinking about joining the track team this spring. I am pretty fast but haven’t ever been on a team. I run well for short distances but not for a long time. The last time I seriously practiced running was in the fall of 8th grade when I still played soccer. I am pretty small, only 5′4 and 90 pounds. Could I have a chance at doing okay on the team? Also, what is your average or best time in these events?
I just tried and got about 14 seconds for 100 meters. It wasn’t exact, I just measured my street and used my ipod for a stopwatch.

max asked:

I was just wondering what times are generally at certain schools for varsity runners…i know there are schools who have all there guys going under 17 or 18 for a 5k or under 10 or 11 for 2 miles, but what would be a time good enough to get some attention from division 2 or 3 schools or even smaller D1 schools..i dont really care about the times that are for all state guys, i know what that takes..i’m just trying to see where i’m at for like the 5-7 runners on other teams or if you run at college or are a coach,what do you look for? academics, work ethic, attitude, talent? how does it all work out? What should i shoot for junior and senior year to try and run for a D2 or D3 school?
