at the ymca there is this treadmill:http://www.cybexintl.com/products/cardio/550T/features.aspxand i choose to run the 5k on it (that is what cross country runners do, right? 5 kilometers?) but i dont know when ive ran that far. distance dosent say what it's counting by. does anyone know about this machine?if not, how long would it take a champion cross country runner to run 5k, if that is in fact how far they run. and how about a high school runner?
Go outside and run
if you dont know about my treadmill question you can still answer me:is 5k how far cross country athletes runandhow fast does a high school and college athlete run that distance if that is the distance they run.
the fat high school students (half of them) an hour and the fit ones (10 percent of them) half an hour.
>>240744cross country in hs was 5km, we'd train running ~20km/day. I'm glad i lift weights now, because that shit was weak. Champion cross country runner? 14 minutes. Normal hs cross country runner? sub 18 minutes.
>>240786i had a friend almost break 15 minutes last season, shit was crazy. you normally bump up to 8k in college, though.and don't knock running, man - i do 60-70mi a week, plus calisthenics, and i love the way i look. endomorph btw
