  • This video talks about not only my struggles as a walk on but my triumphs as well. Extremely proud of what I did and wouldn't change anything for the world. The friends made, experience had and lessons learned made it WORTH IT.

    I'am so happy that you went to BYU and I'm so proud of you for what your doing, going to school, running and you evening got a reward at your last race in your senior year but I'm glad you ran with the team.

    Awesome stuff man! There needs to be more of this stuff out there because I felt the same way! I was a walk-on at Nevada for Men's XC and it was definitely a challenge physically and ESPECIALLY MENTALLY. The sudden increase in volume and intensity from HS, high stakes, peer pressure, and wanting to make conference and regional teams just ran me into the ground after 2 years. I ended up sustaining multiple injuries and an eating disorder that set me back 2 years and kept me from a fulfilling college running experience. Being post-collegiate now, I'm looking to fulfill the potential I know I have in this sport but most importantly HAVE FUN!

    Your videos are always so great. Coming from a junior in high school with nobody looking at me even in d2 or d3 right now this was very helpful. Hoping I can get some college visits in this summer when I get sub 2 in the 800 and 51 in the 400. Love the hard work you are always putting in reminds me of myself. I always set hard seemingly unrealistic goals for myself to. I’ve only ever hit one one my goals at that was sub 17:30 last XC season. But that’s the fun of it there’s always something more to chase

    hey adam I've been watching your videos for a while now. Currently, I'm a senior and this season I've hit some great new times. I've dropped my mile from 4:47 to 4:30. I have always wanted to run in college, but I obviously did not have any schools interested in me (and I still do not). I've received a few acceptances back from schools (still waiting on more). Should I email those schools and see if I can be on their team? Thanks, Dawson.

    I know this is unrelated, but how long should my long run be in high school leading up to spring track right now. I usually do 6 miles, is that a good distance?

    • @AdamWoodRuns

    Hey Adam, I'm a middle school runner who is very slow. I have recently started running to improve because im the slowest kid on my xc team. My average pace during races is about 907 a mile. Please send me tips so I can do well next fall.

    • @AdamWoodRuns
      @AdamWoodRuns  5 місяців тому +3

      Stay consistent and slowly increase that mileage. If you run everyday, runs workouts and continue to work hard you’ll get faster there is no doubt about it. Summer is IMPORTANT for XC. The better summer you have the better you’ll be in XC.
