Yes. I am running cross country for my second year.

The best advice I can give you is to push yourself, not to where you are killing yourself, but to the point where you know you are comfortable with your limitations and can perhaps build up resistance to the pain in order to get faster times with every competition.

Be sure to drink a lot of water. I live in Texas and practice in 110 degree weather, so hydration is a must. DO NOT drink soft drinks of any sort, and stay away from tea and coffee. Eat right and know your portions.

If you are new to the sport, don’t be discouraged by setbacks. Again, be sure to not kill yourself, for once you injure yourself during the season, it may be nearly impossible to recover within due time.

By the way, what’s your time record so far?
