I’m a cross country runner and this is so accurate it’s scary💀

Sprinters: “I bet I can run faster than you”
Cross country runners:
*“let’s run until we die”*

For my freshman year of highschool, I was in the yearbook class and got put in charge of doing the cross country page, even though I knew nearly nothing about it. I learned that this is in fact it. Almost every one of the people I interviewed said that their favorite things that they did were hills apon hills and the pressure put on them. I got mad respect.

Had a guy in high school quit football because he didn’t like the conditioning. Literally joined cross country a week later. Still confused about that one 12 years later

Track kids: let’s see who sprints faster

Cross country kids: Let’s see who can last longer without water

Coach: “we’re running into the next county and back on dirt roads!”
Us:

I’m a cross country runner and honestly, this is spot on. You also get excited when the coaches let you run around on hiking trails playing tag for some reason💀

[ziggyzigz]

The shorts part was definitely the MOST accurate

As a sprinter I did a bunch of workouts with long distance and cross country runners, and my god they go stupid hard. But at least they were impressed I stayed with them the whole way. But I did throw up after each and every work out. Worth it honestly

Cross was something else. Get out of school, go to the locker room, change, then immediately out the door for a mile warmup. Then a huddle just like this. Then a core workout. Then we run to wherever it is we're going to be running. Then we run. Then we run back.

[anna.bananas]

as a xc runner this is horribly accurate

[theturkey]

The shorts are the only short part about long distance 😂

[anaunaga]

It was never about the running, it was about the friends we made along the way.

As a cross country runner in high school, I can confirm that the only difference between this and my practice is that we have an ex-marine as our coach

[Heyitsme]

*That one new kid in the back that joined cross country for conditioning*

"I'm sorry, WHAT💀"

Not to be THAT person but holy shit 11k likes? God damn

[SquirrellyDan]

In 2007 my coach told us we all better hit the 500 mile club over summer break or don’t even bother coming back 💀

[JazzyJ]

“Little longer then last year” what were they wearing last year? THONGS ?! 😅😂

[mylifeisJDM]

Them good ol' days when coach said 45 mins out, 45 mins back on a Monday and we just ran. We'd naturally settled into our groups and tough it out. Half of it was hard work but the other half of a long run was just that sense of adventure running around town or the hills nearby with your friends. If you're in XC, cherish those practices. Practice to win but savor the moment.

[mtionvr]

I can confirm that this is real footage of a practice. It’s scary how accurate it is as a cross country runner

[ellabobella]

they the type of ppl to remind the teacher the 12 page essay was due today 😭😭
