Training Tips:

  • Be sure to hydrate properly especially on these hot days. Runners should be drinking 3-4 quarts a day.
  • Eat a healthy lunch during the school day.
  • Keep a training log/diary of your workouts.
  • Consistency is the key to improvement.
  • Be careful not to add mileage too quickly. A good guideline is not to increase your weekly total mileage more than 10% a week. Example: If you ran 20 miles last week, you would want to run no more than 22 miles or so the following week. This guideline will keep you from adding mileage too quickly and getting injured.

Scoring a Cross Country Meet

In cross country, seven people make up a team. The team with the lowest score wins. The first place runner earns one point, the second place runner earns two points, etc. The top five runners on a team count for scoring purposes. A "perfect" cross country team score would be 15 points. The remaining two runners can displace the scoring runners from other teams.
