Ive been running varsity cross country and track for two years now and i started out last onm the cross country team roster. Im not 3rd best on my team. A common misconception is that you have to start out working every day doing crazy workouts. That will get you nothing but sore and tired out. You should start out doing 2 or 3 days a week and dont work on speed as much as durability. You should try to keep a steady pace and really keep a good posture. Then after about 2 weeks of this add mileage. This will build up your muscles and you'll be faster in no time. Just concentrate on a steady schedule, keeping your pace, and setting a new goal every week. Keep me posted, and good luck! [ XC_sweetie's advice column | Ask XC_sweetie A Question ]

Just make sure you stretch before and after. This is VERY important. ~hope i helped and happy holidays~ *lyl

If you become faster, then go up to 1 mile, and so on. Don't start out too drastic, like forcing yourself to run 4 miles a day, that won't do anything. You have to build your leg muscles up so they're ready for it. [ Tinkerbelle's advice column | Ask Tinkerbelle A Question ]
