I’m upset because he’s right

[James @CaucasianJames]

cross country runners never got picked on in high school cause they would wear shirts that said shit like “my sport is your sport’s punishment”

Grace Stark of Michigan is seeded first going into the finals on Sunday. Way to represent the United States!

[XC Problems @xctfissues]

Cross country camp has such a unique atmosphere, everyone there has the same goals and just wants to have fun and run and it’s awesome

[XC Problems @xctfissues]

Is long run Sunday universal??

[XC Problems @xctfissues]

Anyone else have those random weeks where you feel great and fast and then the next week you have side stitches 5/7 days and breathe like a dinosaur??

[XC Problems @xctfissues]

Taking a break is great until you have hours of free time and all you want to do is eat

[XC Problems @xctfissues]

Pro tip: only run the 5k on the track if you enjoy being in intense pain during AND after the race

[XC Problems @xctfissues]

*mid 50s and sunny for weeks straight leading up to outdoor*

track athletes: Lookin like a great start to the season!

weather: nah

*30° and snowing the day before the first outdoor meet*

[XC Problems @xctfissues]

when track practices start and you suddenly have 2 hard workouts in one week after running easy all winter and it just hits you like a truck...🙃

[XC Problems @xctfissues]

Reminder that this applies if you havent run in one day or if you haven’t run in a year. Your legs still know what to do and so do you https://t.co/cj50U7whpd

[Alexi Pappas @AlexiPappas]

like the first ten minutes of a run the first bit of a monday can be tough but then we get into it & do what our legs already know how to do

[XC Problems @xctfissues]

It’s 58° and sunny now, but we all know there will be 20mph winds and snow on the ground for the first track meet. It’s just how it works, right?

[XC Problems @xctfissues]

Being stuck in that plateau phase is tough but you just gotta keep your head up and remember the goal

[XC Problems @xctfissues]

anyone else feel like you should be allowed to half your mileage on days when there’s no treadmills available and a fresh 10” of snow on the ground..?

[XC Problems @xctfissues]

When you’re on the treadmill doing a tempo workout and watching a tv that isn’t exactly centered and when your head is turned you veer off to the edge of the treadmill and almost die #isthisrelatable?
