Cross Country Paragraphs.

Cross Country

Cross country is in week 6. We have been training for it all term (2 weeks.) It is week 3 so we have 3 more weeks to train. For training we do relays, beep tests, but one of the more important parts of our training is working on our technique.

Our technique is very helpful when we run. We use capital L arms. That means our arms don’t cross our core ( Our body. ) We run smoothly, by that I mean we don’t stomp our feet because then all our energy goes into the ground. Another of the most important things we need is good pace. If I sprint at first we will slow down in a fast period of time which means I will slow down in the first lap. That isn’t good pace. A great pace is to have a steady pace or jog at first then near the end we can run (faster, or sprint) to end it. That is great pace!

All though training is tiring, I´m excited to run for cross country.
