Running

I'll be running XC in college next year and I am going to start training to improve as soon as the snow leaves, but I am curious about what to expect. Do not get my wrong, I know everything will increase, mileage, workout lengths, racing distances. I know a lot about XC and all it entails. However I am trying to get a better idea of how much I wil be running. Please only smart college runners answer or something who has recently ran in college. Also I will be running at a Division 2 school. Thanks

My area is completely covered in about 3 inches of snow/ice. We have horses around here, and they can literally run ON TOP OF 2-3 inches of snow and not make a dent.

I went running yesterday, not particularly far or fast, and had to use a lot of effort to move on top of the ice. At each step you would have to really snap your foot down and either A, break through the top layer, sink into the soft stuff underneath, and use a lot of effort to push forward, or B, hit a slick spot and use a lot of effort to not slip. This was my first time running on top of snow/ice, and was I thinking that there might be a potential for some really good work outs. On the other hand, there might be a potential for some falls and missing teeth.

So do you think it'd be a good challenge to keep running on this stuff, or is it better to just stay away from it?

Does a Pole Vaulter's Pole allow them to take it apart into smaller pieces for transportation or is it stuck at it's set length?

Please quote your source where possible.

I do 100m, discus, and long jump. So I really don't know what to get.

In the beggining of 7th grade (age 11) I ran a 11: 30 mile, and then in the beggining of 8th grade (age 12) I ran a 8:30 mile.

Is an 8:30 mile good for a 12 year old boy? (A mile is 4 times around a track)

I am now 13, so I don't want to get you guys worried.

I have to buy a pair of running shoes soon, can someone explain to me what each type of running shoe provides? Like the cushioned, motion control, performance training, spikes, and stability; what do they mean? Also what would be best for a beginning runner?

I was just wondering what times are generally at certain schools for varsity runners...i know there are schools who have all there guys going under 17 or 18 for a 5k or under 10 or 11 for 2 miles, but what would be a time good enough to get some attention from division 2 or 3 schools or even smaller D1 schools..i dont really care about the times that are for all state guys, i know what that takes..i'm just trying to see where i'm at for like the 5-7 runners on other teams or if you run at college or are a coach,what do you look for? academics, work ethic, attitude, talent? how does it all work out? What should i shoot for junior and senior year to try and run for a D2 or D3 school?

I am a racewalker. I have been able to wear NB 111's for several years, and now they are being discontiued. I have been told that a racing flat is the next best thing to a bonafide racewalking shoe. I am looking for a minimal support shoe that is lightweight and flexible. I am very close to getting some Asics and can't decide between the Gel-DS Racer and the Gel Dirt Dog Spikeless.

Anyway, my real question is, will a racing flat hold up to a marathon distance? How much could this type of shoe take?

Because if there is, I'd like to pose this question:

If Emil Zatopek, Haile Geb and Kenny Bekele raced each other over 10,000 metres in their primes (Zatopek 1948-1952, Geb 1993-2000, Bekele at present), who do you think would win, and why? I think I know the answer, but will give you guys a chance to consider it.

Also feel free to put the three in order of position.

I'm a martial artist and recently I've been trying to improve my endurance by running. But after a little while of running my lower back starts hurting like in a really sharp pain kind of way. I dont have this problem when we run in my martial arts class. So does anyone know why I would have this problem. One idea I have is it may be my shoes. I use grappling shoes for all my athletics. Any help is appriciated.

I get two minutes a lap around a 1/4 mile long track and am wondering if that would cut it in Junior High Athletics in 8th grade.

I have improved a bit since then, and another measurement is on a Ten & One I did in the gym i got finished in 45 seconds.

For those of you that don't know a Ten & One is running ten times across a basketball court.

I'm wondering how this would do in Junior High 8th Grade Athletics.
