no. I have a 3 mile run monday. It says "easy" on the schedule. I am a junior, have been running on and off for all of high school. 37 is a lot for anyone. thats 5 miles every single day. I ran a 21 for the 5k. I ran the long run starting at a 10 min pace and went down to a 9 after a mile, so i guess thats slowish, I didnt stop because I couldnt run, I just felt sore, which I dont like very much.
You're trash. There are thousands of high school girls who can run circles around you. You've never even raced. Nope, not once. 21 min isn't racing, you don't need to recover from that.
youre trash i bet i could beat you.

Doesn't he understand what recovery is. You need RECOVERY after races. It's just as important as running. He even asked some kids to double today. How can they recover?
Agreed. Should have been 12 mile recovery run, not 8. Idiot coach!
why 12, i was thinking 0 for my MUSCLES to HEAL. they need recovery to get bigger. Dont you know how training works
Talk to Alberto, okay Galen
Me thinks this is the coach here actually, trolling the LRC with his absurd, true, training/team stories. You're like the bad news bears.
0/10 trying to hard, especially with the Pokemon go thread too. Mods please IP ban this lame troll

how is it spoiled to ask the coach not to break my body. I dont want a stresssss fracture. thats almost 11 miles in 2 days, thats 37 mpw, i usually do 25. Thats too much
Wait, I thought you ran your long run after the race? Like warm down then keep going for another 8. 11 in two days? Come on.
obviously the race was intended to be tempoed. If you ran a race flat out, there is no need to do more than a couple mile cool down afterwards, you should have asked your coach if you could do the long run tomorrow
no it is tomorrow, the race was yesterday long run today
Our coach made us run 60 minutes within 5 minutes of our 8k xc races. As soon as we crossed the finish line we were supposed to go put our trainers on and continue running. Pace didn't really matter. I hated it at first but really started to enjoy it.
That's just abuse. People should run to have fun not to get faster.

Today we had to run 8 miles after a 3 mile race yesterday. Has anyone ever done this before? It's really hard. I started walking at mile 4 bc i was tired and the coach got mad. What gives?
Sadly this troll is echoing what I have heard many times over.
good

yawnnnnnn
It's a bit excessive for 16 year olds.
Did he not tell you to go out slow?
What were you running on?
Many coaches believe in this type of workouts and yes they will pay dividends later in the season. In my opinion an 8 mile recovery is more punishment than recovery.
he called it a long run, it was long, i havent done over 8 before.
I'm telling you, you should transfer to my school. The longest run we've ever done is 5 miles and the day after a race is always off - no practice. Totally chill!
The cesspool of responses is just another reason why the popularity of our sport is in decline.
Maybe the OP is a troll, but I don't think so. Regardless, there are thousands of people around the world who come to LRC for the first time every day. Imagine them reading the responses to the OP's post. Does that make them want to join the running community?
Sometimes I think the majority of the people on this site believe that it is only for runners good enough to have run in college, or smart enough to join MENSA. Seriously, so much exclusionary behavior here. You guys need to chill out.
