Is it possible to cut two minutes off my cross country time?
I run cross country in high school and am wondering if I can cut 2 minutes off my time. My PR is currently 13:30 for a two mile run and want to cut it down to 11:30 by next year because I want to go to state. I will run almost every day and work extremely hard.
Is it possible to cut two minutes off of my two mile time in a year?
It most definitely is possible! But I really wouldn't recommend running every day and working your body too hard. I started running cross country at about 40 minutes for a 3.2 mi and by the end of the season (about 2 or 3 months later) I cut it down to almost half that. I'd advise running 4-6 days a week slowly increasing your pace as you go along. Make sure you're doing enough stretching also as that helps a great deal in having a longer and better stride.
Oh, and stay well hydrated!
Good luck!
