Hi! This video is kinda different from my normal content, not gonna lie. J just really wanted to document parts of my last season of cross country. This sport means so much to me, I’ve made so many amazing friends and I would strongly encourage anyone who is considering running xc to do so. It’s so fun!!! Also, let me know what y’all think about me starting a vlog channel. If I make one, I’ll just do random vlogs about normal days in my life. So yeah let me know how that sounds to you all!
Don’t forget that I upload every Sunday at 5 pm EST.

Literally searched up “cross country high school” to see how it is because I have no idea what to expect for my first XC next week, this really gave me a good view of how it is. Got to work with what we got this year am I right?
I’m glad this gave you an idea of what cross country is like! I hope you enjoy running cross country!
Yea I run xc it’s a really fun sport everyone is nice it’s painful like every sport but fun.
Same
First week is hell
@@user-hm8yu3gm8k or first 2 weeks
I love the community of xc. I find the type of people who are willing to wake up every morning and die in the best way possible are amazing. Sadly because of covid the season was canceled but thankfully we get track :)
She ran so slow
I’ve never had someone ask me how I’m doing in a race. Maybe it’s because my face says what I’m feeling.
uhm yeah, i'm pretty sure your school has ended since it's summer and all, but how was your whole race this year? did you like it? did you meet your goals?
how are you doing in the race?
"Come on, keep it up, head straight
You're almost there, lets go, everyone counts, use the hill"
XC were so fun times.
Entertaining vlog, Celia:D
Go Tigers!
It really is so fun! We all miss having you on the team, Dean! Thanks for watching and go tigers!!❤️
I ran 8th grade XC this year, and it was pretty tough. The practices were challenging, and so were the meets, since you had to deal with ppl from other teams coming up behind you. But it really helps your endurance, and help you become a better athlete, so I’d definitely recommend this sport.
I'm starting xc as a freshman and im honestly super nervous 💀 I love this vlog lmao it seems so fun!
I’m starting xc as a freshman too! I hope the best of your season!
@@tazmunkey2838 thank you, you as well! :)
how was it ?
@@satonehh to be honest it is really hard (my school is like super competitive and they pushed us really hard) but it was worth it. I got in better shape, I ate better and slept better, and I did make a few good friends! Of course tho it’s ur decision if you want to join lol, take care
@@alexrewood4312 thank you! I’m a freshman starting cross country and I just got over really bad autoimmune diseases so im super nervous. My school seems super competitive too, so was it really bad?
I loved the yee haw music it was perfect😂
THANK YOU!😂 I thought it was a nice touch
Your brother was so real when he said he wasnt excited to cheer you on. To spectators that dont know everyone and all of their friends it is boring to watch unless you run XC. I love it with a passion though. I love XC so much its indescribable
I was thinking of doing cross country and so I wanted to see what it’s like and this video seems perfect so thank you and you sound very encouraging and great job!!
I'm a varsity runner for my team. And I really love how the younger and more inexperienced look up to us🤘🏾
I’m starting cross country and I sooo scared! What is the longest I have to run and what are the meets like?
Don’t be scared, cross country is so fun! The most we run in races is 3.1 miles and the most at practice might be a long run that’s about an hour. It’s really not bad though and I highly encourage you to do cross country!
I really depends, middle school is 2 miles, high school is 3.1 miles, and college ranges from 8-10 kilometers
@@CeceliaMinard your so slow at it
@@Jarvin23 6k for women, 8-10k for men
@@heydylan5795 be nice 😖
Dang your lucky there’s people actually excited about XC my whole freshman team is only doing it for credit 😭
That stinks :/ I feel lucky to have such a fun team that all actually like xc😂😂
I’m planning on doing cross country this is my first time doing it how is the meets it’s it hard ?
The meets are super fun! I won’t lie, it’s a hard sport, but it’s all worth it!
@@CeceliaMinard I'm scared I won't make it any tips for next school year and to me I run fast but I don't run fast
So glade we have a season this year!
I am too!
this is getting me pumped for my first zc season in middle school thank you
HANNAH LOVEJOY OMG LOML!
Also this vlog is so fun... I wish I did cross country freshman year but I literally CANT RUN! I’m still working on it my calves get so tight and my feet fall asleep it’s so miserable for me omg... but I love this celia!!!! Fav TH-camr.
I know, Hannah is SO sweet!! And omg I wish you did cross country too, that would be so fun! It’s so rough though sometimes, so I get it 😂😂
I did 4 years of track & 1 year of cross country and i couldn’t handle cross country 😆
I do track too! Cross country is definitely my favorite though, even though it can be pretty rough at times😂
as someone who has been playing cross country almost my whole life, its really fun, ofc u need to get in shape but its really good for you and after a while you'll get used to it. i really recommend trying it out and if ur scared dont be its awesome!
Hey!! So you sound very experienced LOL! I have been wanting to run cross country for about a year now, but corona happened and the team didn’t get a season. I am going to be a junior this upcoming year, and I was wondering if I should join cross-country or not. I run a 10 minute mile (sometimes 11) and I tried to run a 5K a few months ago, and it took me 35 minutes. I run 1-4 times a week, but only for a mile. I’m gonna try a 5k again today I’ll update you LOL but I was wondering if you think it’s a good idea for me to do cross country? Because I know I wouldn’t be good on the team, and I don’t want to set the team back or anything. Maybe I should just keep it as a hobby? What do you think?
@@Jrjejhbfh i’ve also wanted to join a cross country team like for my school, i’m not sure if it’s too late for me to or anything but idrk like how fast i can run a mile or anything but i’m gonna start training now and i have like a month before school starts.
@@Jrjejhbfhunless ur team is really small they usually only count a certain amount of the top runners so I 100% encourage joining it is worth and you'll see crazy improvement
this year was my first year of cross country as an 8th grader, and i’m gonna be a freshie next year and i ran three miles straight yesterday for the first time and did it in 28 minutes i’m gonna train all summer and i’m hoping to drop the time to 23-25
That’s awesome!! Beginning of freshman year I was in the high twenties and broke 23 minutes by the end of the season! You got this :))
I love this video!! Yes on more vlogs
Thanks! And I think I’m gonna make a vlog channel!
This exactly what you'd expect from Cross-Country! I do Cross-Country for my school.
i know this was posted a while ago but im interested in xc and i wanted to know more about it and what it was like or if i should or shouldnt try to join, i haven’t really ran for a team or anything but i enjoy running and i’m going to be a junior in high school
hey i know this wasn't directed at me but i think you should totally go for it! it's super fun, especially if you love running and it's a great way to meet new people!
this reminds me soo much of my xc team!
I just finished my XC season. I really enjoyed doing it and I run my first 5k on November 6th!
I finished my middle school XC season about a month ago. We ended with the city championship tournament, and my school got 2nd place in it. I’d say my season was a success, and it helped me to get more athletic!
I recently just got into cross country TODAY! and let me tell you IM SO EXHAUSTED LIKE I WANTED TO JUST END IT😭 but I decided im going to keep trying but the girls in cross country are SO NICE!! EVEN tho i embaradsed myself infront of them with not being able to do a pushup😭
this is pretty much exactly how it goes
xc runner approved
Music is on point 👌🏾
Thank you so much!😁
I just found and subbed. I look forward to more content.
This is paul walkers daughter and cross country's hard especially with all of these rules in the corona
I do xc, this is so relatable!
wow, i’m surprised that you guys got to have a ‘normal’ season
my school pushed back fall sports until february,,, and now our first meet is in less than two weeks 😳
we’ve only had two practices bc of snow days lol
Oh geez, that’s gotta suck! We we’re definitely super lucky to be able to have sports. fortunately our case numbers in the fall were pretty low so that how we were able to have a season.
I hope you’re season goes well even if you’ve only had two days of practice!!
@@CeceliaMinard thank you:)
Oh i wish i lived more north. My XC meets are usually between 89-105 degrees and the humidity is absalutly terrible! I think its 58% typically
what were your splits and your overall time?
I'm becoming an 8th grader this year I did cross country in 6th grade not exactly cc and that was the last time I Ran fast and now I'm doing cross country but I can't keep stamina/strength/speed to run since I haven't ran in awhile is there anyways not to get as tired and have your legs hurt so bad and how to control your breathing
Hey! I’m pretty late but great job 😊 I’m on the fence about doing cross country but I think this video is convincing me LOL but I’m such a slow runner! I have a 10:30 mile 🥲
That’s not that slow especially if you haven’t ran very much!!
Me too LMAO. It’s ok we got this!
omg i loved this video!!! it totally gave me insight on what xc is gonna be like. i wanna try for the school team this year (im starting 8th grade) do u have any tips on running? i usually run 3 times at week, each time running around like 3.1 to 4 miles. i don't think i'm fast enough to do it competitively though, and im pretty new to the sport, so if u could give me advice and tips on running for an 8th grader that would be great. again great vid!!
i might be late on this but i hav edone xc 6/8 grade i absolutely love it. I think its great how u said you run 3.1 to 4 miles because meets are like 2 miles where i run and my coaches always tell me the more miles you run the easier the meet will be. Its okay if you're not fast that doesn't matter, keep up the good work!
I wish the girls on my xc team auctually cheer for us
Omg they don’t? Cheering is like half the fun of xc😂
bro, i’m starting XC freshmen year and my practices are basically in a day. I never did any running sports or anything like that, and i’m pretty nervous.
Today is my first xc practice and it's starting in 45 minutes and I'm so nervous but this is fun to watch AHHHHNFJSMV
What was it like?
@@monicamiller7851 well I'm almost two weeks into xc but the first day was AHHH it felt like I was gonna die like 10 minutes in WHILE ONLY STRETCHING we didn't even get to the hard part,but overall it was alright! now of course it's a bit easier since I have better technique.I honestly enjoy xc now.
@@arkjuarez6169 I totally agree with you, the first day is absolutely draining. I guess it gets better though. I’m happy it’s fun for you!
I'm a freshman, and I joined the cross country teem for the first year. I ran track last year, and I did pretty badly because I got sick right before we started having meets, so I did really badly. I'm hoping I'll do better at cross country when I run it this year. So far I'm doing pretty well at practice, and I looked up some former meets for my team, and I'll probably be able to place top 5 in a lot of them based on my fastest time, but I'm still really nervous 43 days out, so I watched this video to see what it's like
How dis it go
@@RamRam-ww7nq The first season I was the fastest girl on the team, but the team is really bad, and my times were horrible. The second track season, my track times were bad for no reason, but I was recruited by a private coach. The second cross country season I got injured. had to sit out for most meets/practices, and did badly. The third track season, I did really well compared to the past but my times still weren't greats. This cross country season I haven't done well so far, but I hope it will improve
@@period.4170 I’m doin CC and track too, jus pray and have faith and you’ll be fine. Tell me how it goes
i’m worried, i’ve never run a day in my life, but i’m really interested in joining cross country..... i rlly don’t know if it’s a good idea but i have to start somewhere right? 😭
I kind of want to start xc in the upcoming school year, but I’ve never ran before ( like track or xc) and don’t know if I should do it? Do you think it’ll be too hard to start for the first time in 8th grade?
Not at all! 8th grade is the perfect time to start! And the great part about running is you don’t need to be naturally talented, as long as you get out there and run, you’re all set! It’s a great sport and you should definitely give it a try!
Dude I’m starting in 11th grade ur fine
i just had my home meet and im watching this in pain lmaooo
Ik this is an old vid but ya I’m new here and yr good!
So I have a new friend who’s in her last year of xc until varsity and I had no idea wtf xc was. And after seeing this video, I’m in awe that she can do that shit and go to practice like 4 times a week running 8 miles or smth. I could never do this 😭
What place did you come?
I'm in cross country too this is my second year doing it and it's Soo fun and the girls are always kind too you even if you are in a different team and my team is not Soo big Soo we get to go in a van with air conditioner but I would definitely recommend the sport cross country even if your not good at running it's still fun:)
Hey I have a question, how long are the courses you run because I run a 2 mile but I’m middle school so what do u run?
5k
I’m trying out for middle school cross country next school year. My friend also going to try out with me. We’re scared though lol
Agreed to cross country being the best sport
do you know what your time is now
"Use the hill Cecelia have fun!"
No, cause if somebody said that to me 😃🔪
I started running in track and crossed when I was kindergarten now I’m in 7th grade and I tried out for the volleyball team and didn’t make it which I was ok with but now I’m thinking about getting into running again and I’m not sure if I should do cross country because the team at my school is horrible and I don’t want the pressure to carry the whole team because that has happened to me before
I’m a seventh grade XC runner and I love and hate it at the same time but I placed at all of my meets except the first one and my team won conference so yay
Hey I got a question what kind of shoes u used for cross country like u used some expensive shoes?
I use brooks! They’re not too expensive, usually less then $100
What was ur time? 😁
Heyo! I just have a question about cross country. So I want to join cross country next year which is my sophomore year. I’m just scared because this would be my first time ever doing cross country. I really never did track or anything. I also feel like I don’t have good stamina and I’m scared I won’t be able to get far without feeling sick. ;(
I totally understand how you feel! To be honest, one of my favorite things about cross country is that you don’t have to be good! You can get last place and still feel good about yourself because you literally just ran a 5k! I’m not that fast, but it does suck when you feel out of shape. The best thing to do is run a couple times a week over the summer before the xc season starts! This will really get your body into shape, but it will definitely be hard at first. Just don’t give up! Even after 6 years of running xc, the summer running is the worst and most demotivating part! If you can get through that, you’ll be off to a good start for the season! But don’t worry to much if you don’t get that many summer miles in, coaches will usually spend the first couple weeks of practice on conditioning to get the runners into shape! I hope this helped and let me know if you have any more questions!💞 I definitely recommend running, it’s one of the best sports out there :)
@@CeceliaMinard Thank you so so much, this really helps!! This makes me feel so much better!! 💗
so for my first year of middle school I signed up for cross country and I'm just an average runner and I'm so nervous because we have to jog 2 miles so before we make the team before tryouts I'm going to run 2 mile s every day😩😩
Starting middle school xc this year. How far does middle school run in practices and in meets?
It depends on where you live, but for my school, middle school does 2 mile races and usually doesn’t run more then 4 miles at practice!
in 8th grade, i ran 11:50 for 1.8 miles. then covid came and caused me to lose track season that year, cross country + track the next year, and i decided to not run at all during that time. now im in 10th grd and am running 29:30 for 3.1 miles. i feel defeated after every race and dont know how to get back to where i was
You just have to really practice. Start running a mile everyday, and then after a while, get up to 1.5, then 2 miles, etc. I bet you can get back on track just by doing that.
What's the average freshman 5k time? I've still got a little more than a month to train before xc tryouts, but I'm worried I am not fast enough to do well
an average high school time is around 22:30 and a really good time anything under 20:00
22:30 for a beginner is really good. I wouldn’t say average
Coolest team out there 😉😉
By far 🤩🤩
Heyy I'm here exactly one year after your meet haha😂😂
I’ll be a senior next year, do you think it’s too late for me to try and do xc? I run on my own…
I would also like to add that the furthest I’ve run Is 8 miles…
I’m done cc and I’m in 6th grade and all the height school girls were going:omg gogogo -jumps- GO YOU GOT THIS lmao 😂
could you give me some tips?? i start in a few weeks and i’m really nervous! :( 💗
I swear cross country is pain simulator
Hah I was thinking of the other CC xD
For cross country we were running on sand and it was so hard to run on 😩
Wiat so how many miles did you guys do?
She probably did 3 miles since that is an average distance for highschool XC.
I play cross country this totally describe it
i literally had my first meet today and we did 3k so uh yeah
I'm starting XC and I hope it will be fun.
She ran so slow
I hope you have fun too! It’s a great sport!
Yes
I have my first cross country meet tomorrow and I’m so scared 💀💀
Well how was it??
I start High school cross country next year, what’s the average distance you run because I run in Indiana and for middle school we ran 1.86 miles
That’s so exciting, I’m glad you’re sticking with it! High school always runs a 5k, which is 3.1 miles. I know it probably sounds like a lot right now, but after you’ve been training for it, it isn’t too bad!
Kaitlyn Tolle yes, thankfully ours is right now! We live in a pretty small rural area so COVID is not bad here.
when i did cross and we vs diff schools half the girls fell on the ground
I love cross-country it's the best
Cross country and the beep test are death
I’m so scared I’m a sophomore now and I didn’t get to try out for freshman cross country and I have little idea how this all works but at least I like running 😭
Omg me too update me
@@chanelr5962 I will it’s in 3 days 🙏🙏
I wish Australia had things like this we have a school cross country race you do well you go to zone you do well you go to area you do well there you state like bru no training or anything
I wish we had all this training too.
Yha I tried xc it is so fun I cry before then I do it good 13 th place

no cause i got into xc this year and almost died the first time
2:45 is that the koichi pose?
X-Country is the greatest sport of them all. Underappreciated by those who don't get it but who really cares what they think? Don't sacrifice the gift folks! 100% about your personal best
Do you go to Marietta HS
I just came across this video so I’m late. Can you join cross country your Senior year and be decent at it?
Yes definitely! You can join whenever! And if you’re aiming for a certain time, run over the summer to get in shape for running! You don’t need any prior skill to do xc!
bro why do you care
What was the distance you guys ran?
3.1 miles!
@@lolabaker8197 so 5k?
@@maliwyd3432 yeah she ran so slow tho
@@maliwyd3432 it’s like if your going to do cross country like be good at it at least

Omg I dont know I kinda want to try cross country but I’m too scared (I’m in 9th grade and I’m also a dancer)
Don’t be scared! It’s so fun and cross country people are usually really nice! I’ve made some of my best friends from xc!
@@CeceliaMinard thank you so much this definitely makes me feel much better!
I would be that person to run through that big puddle of mud just for fun
MAKE A VLOG CHANNEL! Maybe u can vlog throughout the week and then post on mondays...
Omg that’s a great idea! That’s kinda what I was thinking, just like random vlogs for the memories😂 Thanks for the encouragement btw!❤️
Yes! You should totally do it!!
Nondyce Gulick Aww thanks girl!! I think I’m going to!
