I've been running cross country and track every year in high school and im going to be a senior. I just realized this week that i now totally hate running. It's boring and it no longer appeals to me. I really want to quit but im the captain this year so i guess i cant. Who else agrees with me that running totally sucks ass?

ahahaha, mammothpunks yeah that did sound pretty bad, i admit.
but we, in case you didnt know, use the metric system up here, and there is no such thing as a mile in the metric system.

yeh last year was my first year running varsity cross country and track. i'm a junior now and i'm going to be one of the faster guys on our team, but i'm having trouble getting pumped up for the season. if you run at a high level for a long time it takes a toll on you and you don't want to do it anymore, you know?
best times: mile - 4:46, 5k - 16:48


my level of radness... it just can't... be quantified.

I think running's sick man, I do it 5 times a week (probably because I suck at all summer sports like skateboarding, etc.)
Mile: 5:10
2 Mile: 10:58
5k: 19:43
10k: 42:09
Your guys' 5k's are all really fast, you should stick with it and win local races.

You should never run unless you really have to, because it just isn't cool. I mean, how stupid do people look when they run down the street?Walking is the way to go. In fact no, thats too hard, travel by car.

i used to hate running. but then running became one of the more enjoyable onland training options during the crew season. im pretty sure my crew team runs more than the cross country team.

im on my schools cross country team also and i guess its boring in the fact that not alot goes on during races and it doesnt take a lot of skill just agility and endurance

ive ran cross country all 4 years in highschool. I ran track my freshman year but i didnt like it because i got reall bored running 16+ laps every meet. I think i made a good decision not doing track past my freshman year because it didnt burn me out as much. This past season was my best season yet it wasnt very fun. If i would have kept doing track i dont think i would have wanted to run for all 4 years i get burnt out fast on most things....except skiing. My best times....Freshman year track:Mile 4:52 2 Mile: 10:28
Senior Cross country 5k: 15:52

im in the exact same situation, ive run xc all three years and im in track right now, im supposed to be the "leader" of the team next year, and a little background of our team is pretty much that we dominate our conference, in hte past 21 years we've won it like 18 years. The only reason im doing track is for cross country, and in the summer i have to get up every fucking morning and run at least 8 miles, 8 short day, 13 is a long day. And if any of you know anything about running over the country, i live in illinois which has the best field of runners, York wins nationals just about every years, theyve won state for like the past 20 years straight, im just so sick of all the bullshit my coach gives me, hes the most manipulative bastard ever.

hahaha, i loved that thing. it was fun to see how far you could go and then when you sprint at the end and then fall to the floor gasping for air. those things were so much fun. it sucked though if you were the last one and everyone was watching you. and they all wanted to go. beep tests were fun though.

yeah dude I hear ya I've been running for 5 years, at the national level. And its boring as shit I tried quitting once but I have trouble giving up on stuff.

The only part I really love is winning races and that seems to be pritty rare at the higher level races.

I'm personally thinking of quitting, but it's hard to let go of something your good at and used to love.

i was there. Sadly i fell in the water pit and clip a steeple on my second last lap so I got a DNF. But I was in 3rd and second for the first 4 laps. It waas a great way to end my highschol career.
