In addition to the prime determinant in endurance running – aerobic capacity – the successful cross-country runner will need to:

• Keep a good rhythm across undulating terrain and over a variety of surfaces
• Clear lactic acid efficiently, as a result of fast starts, hills, and surges
• “Pack run”, or key off teammates and/or competitors
• Finish fast when tired, as team points/total time are paramount

Cross Country training begins in October!
