Should i tell on my on my roommate and other team members?

Snitches get Stitches! Just do you.

Roomate suggests you are in college.

But I am confused by the low effort put forth by your teammates. That sounds like a group of high school freshman.

Regardless, my advice is to work hard and follow your coach's workouts. I bet if you do, you'll find one or two runners who were just going along with the group actually do want to work hard and join you.

If you're in college, what is up with the short runs on a base mileage day? Is your training group an 800m group?

Also, why isn't your coach timing most workouts?

Sounds like your coach sucks. Instead of snitching on teammates, tell him he isn't doing his job

Talk to your coach privately and tell him the situation. Surely there are some other serious guys on the team and its not everyone who goofs off like this. If it is though, its just a really crappy situation and you might find yourself basically training alone for the rest of your time at that school. If I were in college and the team was like that, I'd seriously consider transferring.

You should probably stop acting like a little b--h and mind your biz.

The NCAA limit on practice is ridiculous. Most practice is "voluntary" and the coach is not allowed to be there. Of course if you only did mandatory workouts you would suck.

Don't tell on your team members. Set the example go above and beyond what your coach asks. by being an example it may be that some will follow you, this will then be the new core of your team, and hopefully a new culture will be formed. Don't fall to peer pressure to cheat. Discipline will not accept weakness.

If you want anyone to respect you, do not be a snitch. I get it that this pisses you off, but the worst thing you could do is be a snitch. The situation will ultimately resolve itself in time, guarantee this kids either get kicked off or quit at some point

Sheesh, why are they even on the team in the first place?? That sucks that the coach is going to realize at some point that his coaching isn't bringing results and he'll have no clue why.

This don't snitch crap is just that. If you want the team and culture to change they you need to step up. Call people out. Call them out in front of your coach. This culture of don't snitch is shit and all of you that are pushing it are losers. Call people out, tell your coach.

One of the kids on my high school did this kind of stuff. Not as bad... But he would disappear in the middle of track workouts (interval workouts on the track for those that don't know) for 30-60 minutes. Then he would show up again and write down times. Now, my team was full of snitches so he got caught very quickly

The coach did not care though. His mindset was the kid is only hurting himself and disciplining him won't help. I'd recommend telling the coach.

These people saying snitches are bad are idiots. If you see someone doing something illegal at work (i.e. embezzling client dollars) then you go to prison for not reporting it. I hope all these people saying snitches are bad go to prison for all the other illegal activities they've perpetuated in their lives.

People who say don't snitch or say they hate snitches are losers themselves. They're scared to get caught for doing something they know is wrong. But anyways, there's no reason to look for opportunities to call people out. Also, be a man and tell them to their face if you have a problem first, rather than being a sissy and going to tell someone else initially. If you just go straight to tellin, you're a sissy. But if you let them know to their face you don't like it, you're a man.

they see me trollin' they hatin'

What?? I am also on a collegiate track and field and xc team and my coach has never missed a practice, nor would he.

No

Why does this bother you so much? They're only hurting themselves. They're the ones who have to run the races in the condition they are in loafing during practice. You do you and put the work in and you'll be fine. Doesn't sound like you guys have a competitive team anyways so them hurting the team scores doesn't sound like much of an issue

They're only cheating themselves. Let them half-ass it, show up and dust them when it comes time to race. More scholarship money for you. Besides, kids like these always end up getting kicked off whether they get caught or the coach just gets tired of them sucking. But don't snitch, they're not harming you in anyway, just be patient.
