I like doing workouts with my teammates because it shows them and my coaches that I am a good teammate and person but I am physically better than them and feel I would benefit more from going faster during different workouts. Should I ask my coaches if I can go faster or just stay with them... Discuss...
You're not a nice guy, you're a guy who talks behind people's backs... just like me!
No one respects nice guys.
Do what you want because at the end of the day, you run with what you have. You can't expect to baby sit other runners.
I thought running was an individual sport, unless you're in xc or relays
Training 4 xc
run your easy mileage with your teammates. This will force you to slow down, which will help prevent injury. It will also leave you more energy to add a second run (or more miles onto your second run).
The pace you run in workouts (track intervals, tempo runs, hill repeats, etc) should of course be tailored to your individual ability (a percentage of your race pace). Or maybe you run the pace with your team, but do a couple extra sets.
If your coaches aren't already targeting workout paces to your ability, they aren't really coaches.
Are you in Jr High or High School?
high school, we do group tempo runs but if I try to go faster other kids will follow me and suddenly they are going faster than their tempo pace and tiring themselves out
Simple. Do doubles those days. That will bring down to their level and make you better and stronger at the same time. Win win win.
