Cross County

Cross country or XC is kind of difficult, but even though it is you should play it or run it because once you get good at running XC it is really fun. 

XC is a sport where you have a team, that team is most likely going to be your school. You line up with your team and wait till they shoot the gun up (that is not loaded). Then you run to the end but you do not cut corners you follow the track and get to the finish. Your goal in XC is to beat your time you got in other races. If you do that is called a PR or personal record.

XC races are usually about a 2K - 6K. It takes a lot of effort and training in order to be successful. You should train at least 3 days a week. Some practices are long distance runs and others are shorter, more intense sprints or uphill routes. The more you train, the easier race day will be for you.

Cross county is a fun team sport, but you will also feel pride for accomplishing your personal goals.
