What happened to Jordan Hasay at National Cross Country Championship?
Im a high school CC and Track coach in texas. what event do you want to run? if you wan to run the mile and two mile i would say that you should also run cross country.a good cross country program will have their girls run about 50 to 60 miles a week MAX (sometimes more depending of if they are in great shap or not).
now, you should go out and try to do that. start off slow and build up.
run a mile (or 10 to 12 min) a day for the first week of summer (7 miles) then go up by 15% each week. dont forget to stretch, drink lots of water, go to the weight room and do light weight higher reps. also make sure that you have a strong core (abs) do lots of crunches, and buy a good running shoe
good luck
How can i jump higher in high jump?
excersice and run a mile every day.What to do to get ready for sprinting?
run alot in the summer. learn how to pace yourself. if you are not in very great shape right now and havnt worked out very much, start running at short distances, time your self and see how long it takes, then start running longer distances as you get more in shape. try to eat healthy foods and drink alot of water daily. before you run, make sure you dont drink milk, it will realy slow you down and give you cramps..try to stay away from things like pop and pizza. that is all the advice i have for you. hope it helps. =]When i run cross-country how should my legs be?
Since track is a spring sport, you have plenty of time, so don't worry about whipping yourself into peak shape over summer.Use the summer to build up your endurance. Start out at a comfortable pace - one at which you can say a sentence or two. Although you may feel fantastic when you first start running, you should set limits, because soreness can come back to haunt you.
Begin with low mileage. For example, run about 15 - 20 minutes every day for the first week. Don't measure in miles; measure in minutes. Taking walking breaks is an excellent idea, by the way. Every 6 - 10 minutes, take a one minute walking break, if you need it and especially if you are adding to your long run.
Don't increase by more than 10% of running time a week, as overstressing your body before it's ready can cause stress injuries.
Make sure you're well equipped. Get good running shoes with the proper cushioning and design for your footstrike (go to a specialty store and expect to spend at least $60 for a good pair). Wear sunblock EVERY time you go out! A hat and sunglasses might also be nice. If you're running on the street, be sure to know where the cars are, and make yourself visible to them.
Stretching is important. Not only does it prevent injury, but it also helps you improve. If you expand your range of motion, you'll run more easily. Stretch the basic muscle groups: quads, hamstrings, calves, neck, back, arms. Do toe touches, too. Before you stretch, always do a light warmup (this can be just walking for a few minutes). Stretch before and after running.
It might be nice to set a goal for yourself, say running in a city 5k race. Having a goal helps keep you on track. Speaking of being on track, keep a daily record of your running: how long you went and what you felt like, at least. This will help you figure out how to improve.
Have fun!

Determine what you want to be able to do when the start of the season comes around. ex, be able to run a certain time, a certain distance, or both, etc. and slowly work up to that.Be careful not to overtrain trying to get in shape for 'practice'. This may make you peak too soon. That is what the actual season is for. Start slowly and build up: work both on longer distances at slower paces and shorter distances at faster paces.
