[quote=Anonymous]A 4:40 (in basketball shoes and untrained) is very impressive for rising freshman boy.

My son was finally able to get 4:17 as a senior. He was varsity all years in XC and track. All State his senior year in multiple events, including relays.

I’d have your son (only if he’s interested) to reach out to the XC/track coach. You cannot force a kid to be a competitive runner; it must come from within.   My son, as an elementary kid, would rather run suicides in basketball, run the bases in baseball, etc. He was a midfielder in soccer because he could run nonstop. His skills were meh.

But, once he started XC and track, a whole new world opened up to him. He became a leader on the teams (at least 100 boys at 6A high school). Now he’s a military officer and frequently says how his time on those teams made such an impact on him (training, competition, leadership, resilience, grit, etc).

Good luck.

Buy the best quality shoes possible. Frequently change them. Go to a running store to be fitted probably.

Be prepared for massive grocery bill. [/quote]
