Hello fellow speedcubers. I was wondering how many people on this forum took an interest in running, short or long distance, and, well, care about it.
But I also have a lot of questions regarding how to get faster.
I am in incoming freshman, and two years ago I'd already decided that I was going to do cross country. During middle school, I wasn't that bad at running, especially the mile, but now, I realize that I'm actually quite bad.
My mile time isn't very good (fastest being 5:44- not on a track), but it's my 5k time that I'm really worried about. It's abysmal, like 23-24 minutes. That'll surely get last place in a race.
I was just wondering whether some experienced runners could give me advice on how to get faster (I've been working hard all summer, but I've only gotten better by a minute). Should I work on speed or endurance? Should I get my mile time down? Any help is appreciated.
