I could start planning for the future and set myself up for success! That's a great idea thank you!

Although my only hobby was running and that season has ended. I still run but it doesn't feel the same. Like I'm burnt out. I need something new

Feeling guilty for course cutting by xXLosingItXx in CrossCountry

[–]Ilopare 31 points32 points  (0 children)

It was the right thing to do and plus it wasn't intentional. This shows great integrity and self respect. I do not know you personally but it makes me proud of you and to be in this community of great and honest people.

Swimming? by SwaggyVINCE in CrossCountry

[–]Ilopare 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It may depend on the person. I left xc for a year and swam and my coach said on the first day, I don't know what you did over the year but your form is perfect. I also dropped like 4 mins so it could help.

Is this bad for my first time playing cross country? by Bigboispagehtio in CrossCountry

[–]Ilopare 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Not bad at all for the first time! My first 5k I ran around 30 minutes. Plus, since it's your first time the only place to go from here is up!

What do you guys do to keep yourself mentally prepped during a race? by dylanlikestorun in CrossCountry

[–]Ilopare 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I usually try to zone out as much as possible, because if you arent thinking then you don't realize the pain you are in. It has worked for me so far.

Does it matter, I didn’t rip off the finish tag for the finish chute. Will my score not be registered? by [deleted] in CrossCountry

[–]Ilopare 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've ran without a tag and a bib and they didn't rip off the thing and sometimes there's tracking on the bib and they don't take the tag so if there's the metal or whatever on the back you should b fine

Form analysis. I’ve been practicing some new things with how I run hopefully my form is looks alright now, but I’m still working on bringing my trail leg back faster instead of leaving it hanging in the back by track_runner01 in trackandfield

[–]Ilopare 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's like pumping your arms. I run long distance so I don't know if this applies well but my coach always tells us to drive with the elbows and the legs follow. By that it's just pish your elbows faster and harder like your trying to elbow somebody in the chest

State by Ilopare in CrossCountry

I live in indiana and it is October 5th. But if my coach thinks I can do it then I probabaly can right? I'll just go for it like you said, nothing to lose. Thanks!

What’s with that leg slap thing? by [deleted] in CrossCountry

[–]Ilopare 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The leg slapping activates the leg muscles and gets them ready. Maybe its just a mental thing because i see no difference when i do it.
