No matter who you are, if you've been amember of a track/xc team, you've cut a run at some point in your life. So, let's hear the stories - where did you go/what did you do? Own up!

We used to do an awfully lot of runs where we'd head out of the locker room (no warmup or stretching back in the olden days) and tell our #1 runner what course we were going on and try to ditch him. It would turn into an incredibly long game of chase. He would inevitably catch us (he was a 4:10 miler) and then the pace would return to reasonable. I guess the coach didn't mind because we were pushing hard and the #1 kid was pushing to catch us.
Other workouts were spent running through the neighborhood looking for pools to jump in. Come to think of it, those were a fartleck or sorts as well. We would often get caught and have to hightail it out.

Hey Joey Lawrence, I believe you mean "woo", although "woe" is probably what she felt when she saw you coming.
Go in the woods and smash windows in an abandoned greenhouse.

OMg this made me laugh so hard i almost peed.
Halo!
I never ever cut a run. Yet, I still suck.
Nailing my girlfriend in her dorm room with a view of Hayward Field.
Just did my run later.
I never cut a run. Our training was tough, but never so tough that I felt like I should skip out on it. I was usually the opposite. If the run was 5 miles I would ask if we could do our favorite 10k course through the woods, or if it was 8 miles I would ask if we could do an even 10. Yeah, I was that guy ...
Marc Davis (who ran 7:37, 8:12 St, 8:14y) used to ditch college practice to "throw rocks" and their schedule was only about 60-70 mpw at the most. That guy might have been the best talent America has ever had besides Brian Grosso.
Kind of surprising: if you put "Marc Davis" into Google no hits come up for him. He was an American Record holder and an Olympian. I think he had the AJR for 5k when he ran 13:29 back in 1988 or something. He is one of those great US runners who isn't well-known because the WR went from 12:58 to 12:38 during his era and it made his marks look obsolete.
If you search ["marc davis" olympics] you get 7,500 results including a youtube video
Yeah, I got more curious and put in "Marc Davis ASU" and came up with his USATF profile right away.
Most of the stuff I wrote was right, but I think his 5k breakthrough race was 13:39 and not 13:29. Not sure it was any kind of record either, but I think he was a soph at the time.
