I've been running for the past 6 years and improved greatly in that time, so in this video, I want to share the tips and tricks I've learned through all of my experiences. I broke this video up into 2 sections with the first half being about Summer Training and the second pertaining more to racing and race strategy. I really hope that this video helps you and if it does then be sure to reach out and let me know!

Dowwgla Burger normally you speed it up a little. If it’s really steep you almost sprint up it. My cross country coach says the best way to get better at racing is to race, or in your case, the best way to get better at running hills is to run hills. Good luck :)

@@SDfighter1 I was a 16:33 5k runner freshman year and sophomore year(last year) I ran 50 mile weeks in the summer and ran 40 seconds slower than my freshman time, gave up for a few months(not smart) and then got back to work last summer running 50 milers again and this year I’m down to a 16:04 in the 5k. Probably the biggest thing for me is the summer miles are for build up in the legs to get strengthened but for the improvement you need to do a tonnnn of speed work during the XC season. This season we did 3 speed workouts on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday(Saturday long run) which is the main reason for my improvement, a couple other tips are eating healthy(I started last month lol) and try to do body weight workouts like squats, push ups, and especially core. I’ve got one more race this season on Saturday I’m aiming for the 15 zone

1. summer training (focus 90%) -train more (run more) -eat healthy -avoid injuries (stretch) -make a sleep schedule (8-10 hours) -dont breakup the runs (run longer time periods) -run with a friend 2. Racing strategy (focus 10% or maybe less) -eat healthy day/night before -visualize the race (know the track) -take in energy gels -find lighter or spiked shoes -run with people who are slightly faster than you -try to catch up to 3 people in the last mile live happy, be healthy ✌️

I highly recommend summer training to people just joining. Even though I had lots of knee problems, coming into the season I was the 2nd fastest freshman on the team and started with 21:50 had a good headstart over the other freshman who began around 24-25. The only thing I’d suggest is pacing yourself the first mile. I had teammates who finished the first mile under 6 minutes and weren’t prepared for the course and got times over 21. I finished the season with a time of 19:52 as my pr. Not the greatest season for me but I could’ve improved a lot more.

I decided to join XC 1 year ago when I first came to the US. I got a 43 on my first race... 👨‍🦲 It was not a surprise since my stamina has always been bad and It was the first time I participated in sports or did something that requires so much strength (yes,... i’ve never done any “physical things” like this since sports or physical health is not really emphasized or a big part of my old school) However, I did improve lol My second year of XC, I got a 31:10 on my last race. Although it doesnt seem fast but I was super happy with my progress !!!

Went from 27:30 to 20:36 in my freshman year. Training for 18 minutes end of sophomore year, hopefully I can get there! Thanks for these videos, they really help!

Wow. Last time I ran a xc 5k was in 5th grade when I was 11, and I got a 23:14. I mostly run sprints and do a lot of track and field now, and I am thinking about maybe trying xc this year of 8th grade in the fall for a team. I bet I if I trained I could break 18 mins for sure! I’m excited!!

Could you at all be more specific like how many miles and how long you had been running when you did the 19:xx vs the 15:xx and your yearly progress with total mileage? would be a massive help and super inspirational :) many thanks, keep being a inspiration

started sophomore year with 20:33 and ended it with 19:38 this year I started with 19:34 and ended it off with 18:55. I'm planning on training for 8 months starting today so I can try to break 18 and maybe go to state even better, but this video has been helpful.

I generally eat a toasted bagel with honey on it or just a English muffin with either jam or honey before a race. Recommend trying it sometime, worked for me pretty well (generally had one somewhere around an hour before I ran).

My piece of advice is times can vary based on the course too. If you know where the course is going to be then go train on an easy day to get the feel of it.
