What is the best way to train for track and cross country?
i am a runner that is determined to beat other runners in track and cross country. ive tried doing squats with weights in my hands but what else can i try? ( btw im 12 yrs old )
Lifting weights does absolutely nothing for you. Work on your legs. Go for a good 2 mile run AT LEAST 3 times a week. Practice makes you better TRUST me I know. Just get out and run. Take long strides and deep breaths. Focus on your body!

dont worry about weight lifting. extreme bulk = less mobility. worry about running long distances every day. don’t kill yourself, start out small and work your way up. run every day. only take off days when your body needs one.

Build up your respiratory muscles by walking/jogging/running. So Week 1 you can jog from your school a park, so in Week 2 you jog farther distances and for a long amount of time. So you get used to it easier, you don’t want to get these BAD cramps by running all of a sudden. I think i saw this show where a guy jogs 2 miles every morning and maybe you can jog 1 mile every day or alternate days. So hope you win and the key to success is a healty diet, water, fruits, and veggies.
