Tips for Cross-Country running/races

Uploader: cicirunner
Video Description: In ancient greece, there were only 5 original Olympic events; the foot race was one of them.
I was so infuriated with the useless running advice videos on this site that were often unhelpful, vague, and brief, that I decided to make my own.
I filmed it in one take, but it was 14 min long, so I had to trim it to 10 min (reason for having so many cuts)
*The person I refer to in this video is channel "Expertvillage." I make a few comments about the quality of their running tip video.

thank you this video helped me a lot, i am a freshman and my first race i ran a 24:40 three mile(thats really bad) but i stayed with it and got better and my district race last week was 20:20, so i improved my time by four minutes. Cross country is over now and the varsity runners say that i will be in varsity if i choose to do it next year when i am a sophomore. I don't know what it is about running but the more you do it, the easier and funner it is.

wats ur PR? and wat u recomend for basic race strategy for the 800

16:29 5k. Just make ... ( 2 weeks ago by cicirunner)

16:29 5k. Just make sure you don't get stuck on the inside lanes and get trapped on the first lap when everyone shifts over after the 1st 100m. Running even paces is nice, but with such a short race, getting out a little too quick I think is better than going out slow and getting trapped. It's such a short race, that it's hard to make a comeback once you get too far behind. If you go out decently hard, even if you get tired, you don't have long to suck it up. You're a runner, you're strong.

ya i try to go out ... ( 2 weeks ago by nod92)

ya i try to go out hard in the beginning and stay in contention early, but like the last race of track last year, i went out at a 59 cuz there were some stud runners in that race and then died at a 68 and it was a disaster

Damn man. I have ... ( 2 weeks ago by cicirunner)

Damn man. I have seen that happen before, but that strategy works for me because I'm not very fast. I can only do a 58 second 400 all out anyway, so I would go out in 63 (felt fast) and come back in 64.

I know this one kid ... ( 2 weeks ago by cicirunner)

I know this one kid on my team that would seriously hang back and chill in like 4th place. In the last 200m, he would go ape shit and contend for the lead. You have to have a really good changeover kick for something like that though.

ya i wanna pull it ... ( 2 weeks ago by nod92)

ya i wanna pull it back and come in about even splits this year so i can have a stronger kick

yea xc runners dont ... ( 6 days ago by Nebraskafans)
