[quote=Anonymous]*Sigh,* always so much bad information on running threads. High school XC races 5Ks. OP, what other sports does your kid play? At our school, we have a few crossovers from XC to lacrosse. Those kids show up IN SHAPE for lacrosse! I've never heard of any of them complaining about losing speed. I've never known a basketball player to try XC, but I think it would be great for them. Constant cardiovascular work on soft surfaces without the sideways movements that get so many kids injured. Sure, you'll lose a little bit in the season, when your body is focusing more on endurance. But a fast kid remains a fast kid. They'll sharpen their speed back up in the preseason. (Or if they wanted to do winter track, they could do shorter distances.) [/quote]
