Been running since beginning of junior year (current senior).
Ran like 18 something in xc last year. Then in outdoor (no indoor) ran 10:38 and 4:50 without winter running. I thought I had some potential so I ran 50mpw this summer injury free with 1-2 tempos per week(easy runs at 7-720 per mile) I come into xc this year thinking this is my year to run well. Ive had 3 races, which I just don't think I've been running to my potential. I haven't even broke 19 yet and a teamate who didnt summer run beat me today. Ive lost to multiple kids by almost a minute this season whom I beat by almost 30 seconds in the 3200 in track. In track I beat people who were running high 17's so I thought I must be able to get somewhere around there.
I really dont know what I am doing wrong this season and I am very frustrated. I really thought I had a shot at states this year but idk at this point. I know its bad to be frustrated and stuff but I just cant figure out whats goin on. Also we got a different coach for xc then track and my track coach is good but idk about the xc one. The coach hasn't really said much helpful unfortunately.
Pretty much to sum it up I don't think my results this season matches my training or track prs.
If anyone could give any suggestions that would be great.
Thanks
