Never ran track, but got down to about a 19 minute 5k last fall. If my knee's good for it this summer, I'm hoping to run some more for pleasure.

I run for université Laval...but yeah, Guelph's distance program is really solid, the did win 6 or 7 XC nationals in a row. Our team is slowly starting to reach their level tho.

And blackmamba, beating jean-sam in high school is quite a claim haha!

Here's Erik van Ingen's film that he made called "The Real Maine". I just started watching it and it's awesome so far. Any distance runner should definitely give it a watch!

XC is soccer season.. But I run track, sprinting though. My PR's are 22.9 in te 200m, 11.3 in 100m, and 52.5 in 400m. My 4x1 this year is killer! We ran a 43.8, and won a ton of shit.

i used to run middle distances and cross country in high school. now i just cycle. i was always pretty good at the 800 - 2k range. i can sprint pretty hard for about that long, but im not overly fast (so no short distance) nor do i have the conditioning to go for much longer. shit was a lot of fun too. i hate running, and long distances are painfully boring. i'd much rather cycle and cover a lot of territory and enjoy the scenery. running turns into CLIP CLOP CLIP CLOP and i just want to stop. guhhhh.

with absolutely no conditioning? yeah.

But in competition you'd get killed, competitive high school times are in the mid 9:00's.

I did my first season of cross country last fall. It was probably the first time I ever ran over a mile and by the end of the season, my time for a 5k was about 19:30. My first sub 20 was the best feeling in the world.

12 donuts? Jeez, the running wouldn't add in much difficulty for me..because I wouldn't be able to eat that many anyways haha.

Training for my second marathon, coming up in August. I'm not a particularly fast runner, but I have the stamina to keep running at a steady pace for a long time.

800: 2:03
1600: 5:00
3200: 10:50
5000: 17:30

Aww man I'm just finding this thread! My PR for a 5k in Cross Country is 17:34, I went to states in New York this year too, I really wish I had another year of it. I also just finished my Outdoor Track career getting 2nd at stat qualifiers with a PR of 2:05 in the 800m. I also won my heat of the 800m at a big invitational which was really cool.

Any Newschoolers who were at Mew York Cross Country States this past fall? Very curious!
