Senior in HS, not running in college so I want to have a good last track season. I used to love going to practice everyday, it was no joke what I looked forward too when I woke up every morning.
Lately however, my teammates have really started to piss me off. They are all incredibly immature and 95% of the conversations they have consist soley of mocking people and making fun of them. It was kinda funny at first, but now I just find it extremely annoying and it pisses me off to no end. The 'ringleader' of this all also doesn't like me anymore and I'm not sure why he started disliking me but I legitmately hate him now. I have literally had dreams at night about beating the f*cking sh*t out of him and I want to really, really badly. (I don't want to get in trouble though but he really needs an ass beating.)
All of this has made me hate going to practice and overall dislike running. It doesn't help that I also am going to start lifting a lot more after I finish track and I'm very tempted to not even run track and start lifting.
The only problem with quitting right now is that I really want to break 5 in the mile (yes haha I'm slow) and I ran like 5:05 at the end of xc, so its not that far off. However, I don't want to do winter training for like 3 months just to run one race and then quit, but I also don't want to run the whole season.
My plan for the winter was to build to 60mpw again (same as over the summer) but I'm also not looking forward to running that much alone because I don't want to go to practice, but I also don't want to run every day and be pissed off the whole time because of my teammates.
Any recommendations on what I should do or people who've been in similar situations?
