    Go cross country girl!! I love cross country and have been doing it for 3 years.

    Uhm, usually on the first day they wont try to kill you lol. they probably just want to see what you can do. For our first practice we ran 2 miles at our own pace. GOOD LUCK GIRL!!

    God bless

    i started 2 weeks, ago,we did 3.5 miles (1200 meter warm up, 1.5 mile run, 1 mile timed, 400 meter cool down) its pretty easy on the first day. I was dying at the end, but i can run 3.5 miles without stopping now, just 2 weeks later. So if you feel more exhausted than others, never THINK of giving up. Its amazing. Good luck!

    itll probably be a lot of mileage at a slow pace for the first week to get u ready to run faster. itll will seem unbearable for the first few week but dont quiet. keep working at it and u will love it after u get in shape. hav fun and try hard.

    since its your very first time.

    and it depends on how old u r too.

    I'd say they'll make you run maybe a 2k,or for like 20 mins tops.
