are you f ing kiddin me
i want to see you go out and run 3.1 miles in a race with 150+ guys while wearing spikes that are 1-2 inches long with no rules in a race and running througj creeks and up steep @ss hills and end up getting a 16:20 for the race

I ran CC for 4 years.

1) We never ran in spiked shoes. Ever.
2) No rules? WTF kinda race are you running in?
3) Running through creeks? Again, WTF kinda races are you running in?
4) 16:20? That's a Division I college time.

If we want to debate which sports take the most endurance, then it is more than likely soccer.

I played organized basketball from when I was 8 till I graduated HS. I still played basketball for intramurals during college.

Trust me, soccer take the most endurance out of any sport I have ever played.

Finding your pace in CC is not that hard. Starting, stopping, starting, excelarating is what kills you in soccer.

i agree w/ soccer. i love soccer! indoor outdoor, doesnt matter.

how the hell would you run w/ a 2" spike on the bottom of a shoe???? my baseball cleats are steal and they are like..... 3/8" max! 2" spikes?!?!?!? someone would be dead for christ sakes!

annnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnd since im a good sport and i dont like it when my team loses i wont talk any smack to you guys about the game.

and boy do those metal spikes hurt when they cut into your thigh! had to get stitches last year

i hate soccer, but i do have to agree it takes the most endurance

i hate soccer 2

It's not soccer, it's Futbol

1) We always run in spikes. Always. We adjust length for different terrain and weather. I exaggerated about 2 inch spike thing. They are usually 1 inch in rain.
2) In Ohio XC is huge and we do run through creeks all the time.
3) When running an XC race the only part there are people at are the start 1 mile 2 mile 3 mile and finish. Other than those times you can pretty much do what you want.
4) In XC you have to accelerate and decelerate a ton.
5) 16:20 is not a D1 college time. Two seniors this year both got 15:45. They are going to D1 schools. IUPUI to be exact. 16:20 in high school is pretty good. But in college 16:20 wont cut it.
6) My PR as a freshman was a 17:09 on varsity

that makes no sense then, youre talking about you running a 16:20, then you say your personal record is a 17:09
