Everybody is physically fit to their own potential, some are more physically capable than others because of hard work and dedication and others just because of being born with the correct gene. Even the guys that consider themselves to be very physically fit could only do a slight amount of what this sport consists of. Imagine running miles upon miles a day. All the sweat, the hard work, the dedication, it takes so much to be a cross country runner.
Running is something that a person thinks they can just go out and do and they will be amazing at it. The fact of the matter is that having such an endurance requires much training. Additionally, to do it right, one has to be able to change their running form and run like a cross country runner would; comparative to baseball when one has to change their batting form to properly hit the ball.
To some people going out onto the cross country course or stepping onto the track is just like running out onto the football field right before the game. Most people are not big fans of running nor would they voluntarily do it, but to the ones that run miles upon miles daily running is a boost of excitement. To many it is like a natural high just to be able to go out and go for a jog. Some people will go on a run when they are feeling bad or down in the dumps because it releases stress.
Anyone who is as dedicated as a cross country runner should be developing many of the quality essentials for life. There are so many things that are learning factors earlier in life to help us develop the attributes of a responsible adult. It is crazy to think how much people have evolved and grown up just in ones own class. Much of the reason for this evolvement or “growing up” is sports. Sports give us that extra that school itself does not. Sports in high school help people to grow and develop into who they are going to become. Many things are required to become a responsible human being and cross country itself is not the only thing, but something that requires being apart of something a little bigger than just one's own self and something that requires structure can only help thriving in life whether one decides to believe it or not.
