Injured and going into college running

Are you on scholarship/guaranteed a spot on the team? If so, your coach should understand and want you to get healthy. Not necessarily a bad thing to red shirt cross. It could help ease your way into college and college running.

If you are walking on or needing to prove yourself then that is a different story. I would get into shape somehow, prob with a boat load of cross training, and try your best to secure a roster spot. That way you will have access to trainers, etc. If you don't make the team you are more likely to fall off with your running and become a regular college bro.

I have a roster spot, but does it hurt scholarship and the ability to earn scholarship if I can't prove any ability that first year or season?

Yes I have a suggestion. Get off the message board and communicate with your coach. Nobody hear can speak for your coach.

Your choice to seek advice here instead of from your college coach should he a concern to YOU.

no. they can't take scholarship $ away from you for being injured. it's against ncaa rules. of course, you aren't going to get any addition $ while injured.

and, yes, speak to your coach about your summer training... you should absolutely be doing something to stay fit.
