How I Won State in Cross Country

[@soc6724]

i’ve been watching your videos on ig since you started making them and at first i was a little skeptical about 4:30 but you’re seriously really good. gl this season.

[@paxundpeace9970]

He is really getting close ? Not sure if he alreay reached it.

[@weirdedits7889]

I'm currently a 9th grader and a couple months ago finished up my first year of cross country and went from a 39:41 to a 28:57 throughout the season in the 5k and since then have hit a 25:18 unofficially so I'm definitely looking forward towards improving and hopefully hitting a 23 minute time in the 5k by next season and looking forward to seeing your progression as well!

That's some really impressive paces! you have a really bright future if you keep going like this.

[@evandouglas800]

Your videos make me want to get back into running. I ran last year which was 8th grade but I was very mid (6:30 mile) so I lost consistency and didn’t run this year which was my freshman year but I’m getting back into it.

[@Evanrunz]

glad i inspired you yeah set a new mile time goal for yourself and get back to it man 💪

I'm currently an eighth grader and my best 3k race time this year was about 11:42, while my last two years of xc they were around 16-17 minutes, but i could still not even imagine running this fast for even 1 mile

[@kevinr6871]

Thanks for sharing. Excited to see how your high-school career unfolds. Beyond athletics, keep God first and you'll stay grounded no matter what challenges come your way.

[@JaceAkin]

Good job dude I’ve been watching your videos a lot recently, I’m going to high school next year and I’m hoping to become as good as you one day!

[@Dymondjude]

Very impressive time bro. I ran at a different state course and sadly screwed up I was on track to hit 10:40 pace but I ended up hitting 11:00m I’m in 7th grade btw

[@Exalt3863]

What distance.

Thanks for making these videos! It inspires me to run and be more like toy! I am also a distance runner but mot even close to as good as you! My 2400 Is like a 8 minutes and 44 seconds because we don’t have 2 mile

[@miiguel3550]

Stay committed throughout high school. Where I’m from there are a lot of sophomores from 15:30-45 for 5k With consistent training you can break 16 within your first two years of hs.

[@MyNamesJMB]

Ik i might be late but same thing happened to me, i broke both of my hips running over the summer and now im on my way to districts for track

[@kojones1168]

I ran an 11:40 2 mile in my most recent race and got 7th. Great job on your race. I’m in 7th

[@Elli0tK1ng]

Hey man I’m so glad someone else thinks that it’s better to be conservative in the beginning 😅. That’s always my goto but my coach always says I need to get out faster. I’m in 8th grade too btw, keep up the grind 💪

[@randomoneforstuff3696]

Middle and high school coaches are often misguided in that strategy. If you look at the times of elite runners, they always run negative splits (i.e. each mile is faster than the last). As long as you can pace yourself correctly (easier with the help of a watch), you'll be faster if you go out "conservatively".

[@williamtice8409]

When did you start running?

[@whatcamacallit1534]

Had to run high school cc as 8th grader ran 19:30 5k but placed bad since I was running against high schoolers

[@JohnBrodywarriorsrunning]

Great race I'm about to start my 8th grade season (I do club) and I want to be number one in the region. If possible, win the USATF national cross-country championships. Sick race faster two mile then me.

I ran 10:42 and that put me in 14th place in 1A KY track state last year. I don’t know where your running that 10:30 is winning. 1st guy against me ran a 9:52.

[@skillful3055]

It could be because it’s on a track instead of Xc where on the track people can run much faster. Also, what grade were you in? He is in 8th grade and where I’m from 2 miles isn’t even an event in middle school. He also could live in a state that has generally slower times idk.

[@FilenameBliz]

Its probably like sub 11 to win state, our #1 guy on our high school team is FAR from breaking 9. Hes a junior and he has 9:22. Keeping dreaming, breaking 9 in 8th grade requires superior training and genetics.

What is your mileage at rn. And what type of workouts. I'd try increasing your mileage slowly. I know you prob don't want to but run on your own on days you don't have practice. I'd try for 5-6 days a week. Make sure you are gettign the right workouts in too

[@Raphael_Runs]

@@zoolz1 From my experience its all about how long you've been doing it and how disciplined you are. I dont know if you are running workouts rn considering you are in middle school. Another thing that helps though is during races always get a rough idea of your splits beforehand when running a race. But I can tell you one thing, when you get towards the end of your season you will get better times because progress is exponential. Also you will make more and better progress when you get into high school. Best of luck man!

Excellent race! I ran 10:35 in the two mile when I was in 8th, and I had little to no competition in my league. So when state rolled around, I didn’t do the greatest and ran around low 11’s. Great strategy and awesome execution 👏
