David, you nee to leave. Really. You aren't the first person on LRC that we have run off. Your self pity and repeated nonsense has been old and lame for a while now. You've had your fun, now move along.
What nonsense did I say?

Its your self pity. You act like your injuries are inevitable. They aren't. Keep at it, increase mileage regardless of energy and with a little suffering early, you'll be able to run more and improve. You just don't want to run more so you make all these excuses. I've increased mileage while injured before. I generally get out and run unless I physically can't, even if my pace is slowed and my form is off due to injury. That is what its going to take for you to become a runner until you have been doing it for a few years and have experience to when you actually need to back off or take off.

You are saying I should run more while having a stress fracture?

And the fact was that the injury was inevitable as I only had the summer to prepare for XC

No, there were no sanctioned middle school sports where I grew up in California (San Jose). If anyone did a sport in middle school, it was a club sport that had nothing to do with school. I did soccer from around 2nd grade through 7th grade. None of the kids that ran at my high school (mid-'80s) ran in middle school, and none of the kids at my high school when I assisted/volunteered for a while in the '90s ran in middle school (but the team was good enough win a CA state title in cross country).
I'm sure it varies by area, but I think you can find cases that back up both sides (running in middle school vs not running in middle school).
There are hundreds of thousands of kids that run high school track, so percentage wise, I would say "most" do not run in middle school. However, if the point of the question is to ask if there are benefits to running in middle school or evidence that running in middle school is an advantage, I highly doubt there will be cases that demonstrate having kids on your team that ran in middle school is a bad thing.
One particular case that shows a positive correlation would be the current Newbury Park boy's team that just won NXN. If you take their top 13 kids on the team, 12 of them ran for a club track team. On the girl's team, that qualified for NXN, from what I could see it looks like 11 out of their top 12 ran track for club team as a middle schooler. So, not to say it is THE reason for their success, but it probably shows some evidence that it isn't harmful.

The nonsense is that you post the same thing over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over. We keep telling you the same thing over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over. Yet you won't listen. That is the very definition of nonsense.
Either listen to our advice or shut up. Starting a new self-pity thread isn't going to change anything.
- Get real, decent running shoes
- Run more
- Run faster
- Eat a better diet
- Give it time
Unless you are willing to actually try those things, then please don't post. It's really as simple as that.
david do u think u r suffering from a lack of talent?

No! I played soccer on school and club until I couldn't make the club team anymore. I had the speed and endurance but not enough skill and talent with the ball. Then I switched to XC and track my junior year in high school because they are sports that don't require skill or much talent. I ended up doing pretty good and ran D1 in college.
David, you need to invest in strength training, you must have terrible form and be overall extremely weak. If you can, seek professional advice (personal trainer, pilates instructor, physical therapist), so you can better target softer spots or possible serious imbalances.
Be mindful on how to build your aerobical development; non impact sports such as cycling and swimming could definetely benefit you. Given your complete lack of athleticism, any well thought and tailored training will benefit you.
The any other conceivable possibility is that you have a health issue.
