Hey, I have a question about athletics.
I am considering joining my college's cross country team in August 2018. My college is an NCAA Division II institution.
I have about 3 months to practice if I want to attempt tryouts and be on the cross country team.
I currently can run a 9:30 mile, yes, I know that's pretty bad, but if I'm motivated, I can work very hard.
So: Is it possible to get to a 4:30 mile or so to get on the cross country team in 3 months? Is that realistic?
I walk about 56 miles a week; I'm in good muscular condition.
Help would be greatly appreciated.
