Cross Country Running sounds interesting and challenging, I would try it once I have a chance. Walked 20km when I was younger (like 11 year'ol) on trail once, but nothing as big as Cross Country. I have nothing to brag about. :'(

Longest I have WALKED in 24 hours: 33.5 miles

OB MY GOD, CROSS COUNTRY IS EPIC! Once in a 6 minute warm up for P.E I was working with my friend who was also a fast runner, and we ran a mile IN 6 MINUTES!
Me- Mateo, join cross-country, just take my advice. (Yes, I tend to make friends with boys more than girls at my school, cause I love running games)
Mateo- Maybe, but jeez, A mile in SIX minutes?!
Me-yea! -feels something weird, and looks down at thumb- Oh god, I'm bleeding..laughs, I must over rubbed my tbumb the whole time!
Mateo-Well you were pretty focused.
Me-yep!
So yea, I love running!! I got twelth place in a big competiton!

have you seen the movie "McFarland, USA" ? if you like cross country, I highly recommend it
I did a very few cc races, rather attend trail and road running events. have finished marathons (26.2 miles), have no clue how many half marathons, 10k, 5k, relays … but I guess, I'm much older than most of you guys keep running, anyways!

woah! I didn't know there was a forum for this! I like running cross country and track too!! I actually just went to a banquet and got varsity lettered for track!! I ran the fasted 2 mile on my team !! outdoor I starting soon and I am a little scared but yeah! I like cc the most because my teammates are awesome and we would have team dinners every week lol

Best mile: 5:53*
Longest distance: ~10 miles in 75 minutes with one or two short water breaks

*Probably would be 5:3x if not for an injury a few days before the end of season one mile time trial that stopped me from running it, some friends who were usually about my speed-ish got 5:30-5:45

Just has sub 20 5k on forest terrain, low incline

Hey all! I'm training for a 5k for the off season before Outdoor track! It's a st. Patrick's day 5k! I'm very excited, since it's the first time I've done a 5k that wasn't part of my school. I'm hoping to get top 5 in my age group, my PR is 22:48 (I'm a girl) I'm about to get ready for a hill interval run today Also, anyone who runs and lives in a warm climate are so lucky! I have to watch for ice all the time and now I can't run on the trails, only the road Let me know if there are other Cross country/running Scratchers!!
