Is XC some kind of pill or vitamin. people say its good for sprinters?

Answer 1

XC is short for "cross country", the sport in which you run trails for distances of 3 miles or more. The X comes from an abbreviation for "Christ" or "cross". So, you will sometimes see the following abbreviations:
LAX = LaCROSS
Xsect = CROSS section
Xmas = CHRISTmas
Xtina = CHRISTina
Xtal = CRYSTal (also commonly used in chemistry)

The use of the 'X' is thought to originate from a dream of Emperor Constantine when he united the pagans and the Christians. Since then, it has been widely used for just about any applicable abbreviation.

And yes, XC is generally very good for sprinters, most definitely for long distance runners. It helps keep you in shape during your off season, and it helps build endurance, which is especially important if you want to run in more than one event.
