I ran a 17:45 for my conference race as a Sophomore (2nd season). I was ready for my last race (Regionals) but I had to undergo surgery because of appendicitis. Really sucked but i’ll come back for breaking 17 junior year and hopefully close to breaking 16.
Thank you so much Easton!!! This helped so much! Last track season, in 8th grade I had a really bad track season. I wanted to break a 5 minute mile, so every race I would go through the 400 thinking, "I have to be faster... I will not accept having a race over 5 minutes. My race times - 5:12, 5:33, 5:22... Then I had one last race I decided to change my mindset. Instead of fearing I won't get the time I want, I went in excited, happy, thankful to run, and not worrying about time. I ran a 4:51!!! This change of mindset makes all the difference, and I want to thank you so much for this!
Thanks so much man!My 7th grade year I got 4 at league and my 8th grade year I got 2nd!This year is my first year of high school XC my goal is to run a 19:00 5k!Thanks for the tips!
djc0108 running every week and with friends has helped also making sure I’m focusing on speed and endurance.Also high school training got a lot harder and I just enjoyed my time on the team
During my xc season my hamstring started to hurt, and I didn’t think much about it because I was 14 and never really thought about injury. So it became worse after months until my state championship race. I pushed myself insanely hard and knocked off almost 30 seconds of my best time but I could barely walk the next day because of my hamstring. I’ve been in physical Therapy for 2 months now and the pain is feeling a lot better. So make sure if you feel any sign of pain, don’t be scared to see a doctor or take a break from physical activity
This year five of our top seven are seniors. (I’m the seventh man) so I plan on running all over the season break and hopefully come back in low 17s or 16s. I’m currently around the 18:20s mark
The nerves part of this video is so relatable for me. I have a big race tmrw and I’m feeling insanely nervous. I’ll try to take into account ur comments
You guys are all so good. I feel like here in Australia, Cross Country isnt taken that seriously, which I really don't like. I've been doing the local parkrun and gotten a 19:30 as my pb and wish to get a sub 19 minute 5k by the end of the year. I am in Year 9 and really find you an incredible inspiration, since your still in high school! This was an awesome video and has helped me a lot!
You should start listening to the Inside Running podcast! It's by three serious Australian runners, one of whom just became put down the fastest marathon by an Aussie this year and got his start in Cross Country.
Nice video!!! I ran a 21:02 last year as a freshman and I trained my ass off this summer and ran a 19:02, with one more meet to go (hoping to break 19!) I will use these tips next year in the off season to hopefully get sub 17:30!!
I’m a hs junior and I am gonna try my best to break 18. Last year was my first xc season ending with a 20:49 I think. It’s gonna be hard but I have to believe.
aka Ablaze that’s gonna be tough Im a freshman as well no I’m not gonna be a cocky dick and say my time unless u wanna know but good luck to that it’s gonna take a lot of work
I mainly do track and soccer but this year I decided to do cross country instead of soccer and I'm not sure of what I should shoot for time wise for xc. My track times are 400- 53 800-2:00 1600-4:47.
Please do a video on nutrition for cross country runners? Being a vegan myself I find it super hard to eat right and get enough calories everyday while going to school and having practice 15 mins after school there not much time to eat decides lunch.
Easton Creed Allred after reading your comment right here I know for sure you are the real deal for an elite hs runner. You have what it takes to be very good in college, on levels of improvement near Grant Fisher. Keep working at it. 55 a week is good
I’m a freshman and I’m the 7th/8th on my team. We’re going into the postseason and this Saturday may be one of my last opportunities to put up a good run. Right now my PR is 17:44 but to make it to the top 10 freshman ever at my school, I have to drop 20 seconds. Any magical tips or tricks I could use?
Kid Perfect North Dakota we ran that in 33 degrees and 20 mph and on a really hilly course we don’t have indoor seasons and lucky if it doesn’t snow at state and if we can go outside for track in March or April
How important is weight? As a sophomore last year I weighed about 108 and was 5' 6" now I am 5'8" and 112 I am told that is under weight so what could I do to increase weight without getting slower (btw I started working out about 2 weeks ago IDK how much that will increase weight)
Just came across your channel! Dude i love it! Keep up the good work! Stay CONSISTENT!! I’m best friends with RohanTV and The ireland boys. feel free to look them up, also if you know who ryan trahan i’m friends with him too! Lmk if you are ever in FL and we can totally meet up and collab!
Personally I think diet, mileage, and correctly training (i.e. not doing speedwork/race pace work during base training, not hammering out easy days, etc.) play larger roles in overall success in running (especially if one is talented enough to break 15)
I just ran my worst race of the year at the aau junior Olympics can u give some tips on how to show up to the big meats I am getting hype for cross but want to hear how to show up at big meats from u I know how u were able to show up at nxr festival of miles and many other big races
Do you have any tips on how to feel less fatigued/burned out during the week? I run 8-12 miles all week for xc then I take a 1-2 day break over the weekend but after 2 days of being back I’m tired with 3 days left in the week. Thanks!
How much are you eating and sleeping? Those are probally the two biggest reasons. I usually feel terrible if I don't get enough calories or sleep. If it is not one of those, I would possibly look at your training to see if your allowing your body to recover enough.
Nic Alba I try to get about 8 hours of sleep but usually I only get around 7. I eat decently healthy and I definitely get enough calories. I probably could use more time on stretching and recovering though. Thanks for the response!
ok no. so lifting weights adds that unnecessary upper body weight because muscle weighs so much, your lower body running is all the strength you need to run fast u don't need upper body stuff or lifting weights. It adds weight which in turn makes you slower.

Hey Easton! Totally awesome and informative video! You're so knowledgeable! Thank you bro!
Huge support from france
My goal is to qualify for the cross french final (level=16:00 5K)
Keep it up !

Very good video! Solid advice.
First XC season ever rn and I’m trying to break 20 in my 5k this weekend(second meet of the year) Thanks for the vid!!!!
You should do a “Cooking with Easton”
You should do a video about why you run. Thanks for this one!

Is that an Arcadia backpack?? I was at that meet last year! Hope to see you on the track this year!
he was running so smooth at the beginning that the camera wasn’t even shaking 😂
Goal is to run in the 17s, current Pr is 20:00.2 (sophomore)
I run a 20:46 and I am in 8th grade. My running partner is a freshman and we are trying to push to a 14 by our senior year or his atleast

Devon Hermes I would start out with sub 17 as a goal and go from there once you break it.

Justus Bradley not totally sure yet. Right now I think BYU, Stanford, and NAU would all be cool
What were those Nikes you put on on the turf field? That look great for racing

Great video! Looks like imma start lifting some weights ! I’m 5’11” and 145lbs of skin and bones! Let’s do this
How many miles are you running weekly at the beginning of the XC season?
hey what are some of your favorite 5k workouts??
I'm surprised you didn't mention anything like increased volume to build aerobic capacity or more consistency like running 6 or 7 days a week
Joshua Moran yeah! It’s just hard because everyone has different coaches. Personally I think 6 days a week and not going above 60 miles is good.
Easton Creed Allred after reading your comment right here I know for sure you are the real deal for an elite hs runner. You have what it takes to be very good in college, on levels of improvement near Grant Fisher. Keep working at it. 55 a week is good
