track n00bz0rz

ok, so i've ran XC for 3 years and going to try track this year. i've played soccer for 12 years so im not slow, but im not a speed junky. i've been just building base over the winter (about 3-5 miles a day with a 6-7 long run a week).

but aside from training, what should i expect from track?

(failing english btw (these parenthesis are delicious! NOMNOMNOM)

no one cares about running basically

biggest difference

a lot of track work (duh). it's repetitive, but that's how you get faster. i think it's better than xc.

I'm always sick during track. ALWAYS, therefore I hate it.

I think I like xc better but I like track because more people are there to watch.

so i talked to a friend (hes a junior im a freshman) and he said he cant even run with the team because hes not fast enough, so if he cant make it i def. wont make it

does your team have tryouts or can anyone run with the team?

our team doesnt have tryouts. my coach says its to encourage more ppl to come, but my team still manages to be ridiculously small anyways.

kinda tryouts but the whole school does them in pe and if your fast you get told to do it

My school is smallish and yet we get over 100 people to sign up and there is no try outs.

I like track better usually.. it's much easier to win- for me, anyway

Did you get held back, or are you lying about your age.
At my school we have tryouts for xc and track and pretty much every other sport

no im 16, i was held back in kindergarten and my birthday is late (november)
