    Currently running XC and my times are confusing me dearly. I just raced districts and came in second at districts with a time of 16:41 and my times recently have all been like that I started with a 17:29 at the first meet then went 17:17 then 17:29 then 17:06 then 16:40 then 16:53 then 17:04 then 16:55 then 16:50 then now 16:41 I got sick before the season and I trained easy all summer is my drop coming because I have regionals and I need to drop probably 20 seconds, I know I haven't peaked. So I need some help what should I do and how should I go along with my season and ensure that I drop time and proform well at regionals this is my sophomore year and I expect more so help is needed! Thanks Guys!

    get plenty of sleep, do 1 or 2 moderate workouts,foam roll and stretch, and be ready mentally don't doubt yourself say in your head you can do it.

    Hello. This is your English 10 teacher. I believe what you meant to write is,

    I am a sophomore running cross country, and I don't understand my race results. I recently came in second at my district meet with a time of 16:41, which is similar to my recent races. My race times this year have been:

    17:29

    17:17

    17:29

    17:26

    16:40

    16:53

    17:04

    16:55

    16:50

    16:41

    I got sick before the season started, but I trained consistently all summer. I don't feel like I've peaked yet. Will my times improve in the championship races coming up? I probably need to run around 16:20 in my regional meet.

    What can I do now so that I can run faster and place well at regionals?

    Punctuation. Sentences. Paragraph breaks. A format that makes it easy to take in numerical information. They are what makes civilization possible.

    As for your running: your times reflect consistent improvement and performance throughout the season. Good job! The small variations in time probably reflect differences between cross country courses more than anything else.

    If your regional meet is the goal meet for you, then the best thing you can do is to stay healthy and taper your running so you go into the meet fresh. There's not enough time left (before October 29, right?) to gain fitness, but you can cut back on volume so you run your race on fresh legs. Get lots of sleep and follow your coach's advice.
