Since I’ve given a background for this site, and covered some nutrition, I figured that it was time I addressed exercise. Being a sprinter in indoor and outdoor track and field, running cross country was a rough transition for me. However, with consistent training, I have gone from a 12-minute mile to being able to hold a 7:30 pace for a 5k. I reached this pace last Friday, and finished with a time of 23:39, a personal best. By staying so consistent with my runs, and putting a lot of effort into workouts, I was able to progress to this point. I cannot stress enough how important consistency is- without consistent training and consistent effort, you simply won’t improve.
In order to setup and provide context for my future posts regarding cross country and track, I am posting a link to explain common workouts and how they help you improve.
