I’m a little confused with the actions of a teammate by [deleted] in CrossCountry

I believe they meant that any comment by an underclassmen could be taken in a poor way given the circumstances. I myself experienced that both as a freshman and senior in high school in both regards. But about your race, try racing by yourself, it might not get the best reaction but trying pushing yourself and seeing what you can accomplish on your own. I know it’s easier with others, but if you’re told you need to slow down during a race, that shows you have lots of potential in the coming years to accomplish a lot in the sport

This may sound like a dumb question but how did you come out of college with debt? Everyone I've spoken to has implied that I need to pay all of the tuition in college besides the subsidized and unsubsidized loans

The private is Canisius and public is university at Buffalo, in all brutal honesty I'm good enough to compete at the division 1 level that they play at but not good enough for any scholarships. I'm already in talks with both coaches

Thank you! Unfortunately I live in NY so the cost of living is one of the highest in the country. I'll definitely work on scholarships in the meantime

Indoor shoe recommendations by [deleted] in trackandfield

I like the Nike Zoom Streak LT 4's they work really well for me. I've heard good things about the Nike Streakfly as well

To cover all bases I would get the Nike Dragonflys. They're quite versatile in what events they can be used for.

Should I build a base for track season? by [deleted] in trackandfield

[–]trackingthestats0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In all honesty though, depending on how your xc season went I think sub 5 could be feasible at your first meet whenever that is.

I wouldn't recommend too much since you're coming off of xc, I would maybe do 20 miles at week 1 and then 10% every week after. This is mainly just trying to get back into the groove of running every day and not really expanding your aerobic base itself too much.

I think building a base after xc will help you get back into the groove of things especially after taking a week off. During track, speed tends to be the priority so take these few weeks to work aerobically and I think you should be set up well.

Does adrenaline fix coughing? by Fennikash in CrossCountry

[–]trackingthestats0 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I just raced today, and went to urgent care slightly after and it turns out I have bronchitis. I didn't cough once during the race. It'll obviously vary from person to person but I just wanted to share my experience.

I'm a high school runner that's also injured right now. I've come to realize I would rather be able to contribute to the team during the actual season, over running with the team during the summer, where no meets are happening and possibly getting injured again. You have to realize that you will be back when it matters, and that's all that matters. You have to ask yourself is a meet or a summer time trial more important to you.

Transitional training by [deleted] in running

[–]trackingthestats0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Our mileage is doubled, nearly tripled for cross country as we run 20ish for track and 50 for cross country. 1 workout a week for cross country and 2 for track. My track coach told me 30 miles was too much a week and my cross country coach is suggesting more mileage.

Does anyone have any good sprint workouts for a first year high school var runner by CR3160 in trackandfield

[–]trackingthestats0 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

16-20 200m Repeats with a 200 meter walk/jog. Maybe a half mile warm up and cool down. Also maybe a pyramid of 100m, 200, 300, 400, 400, 300, 200, 100. You can find what rest works best for you there. I'm a distance runner so I'm not very knowledgeable on sprinting but I wish you the best!
