My school is doing an online cross-country.
brief explanation
cross-country was cancelled 'cause of COVID-19 --> then they were like "wait, we can do it online" --> everyone who wants to participate has to make their own track that is a certain distance and then they have to run it and record it with an app - we are using "strava"
I have to run 5km this year (which is a lot longer than usual... 16-18y.o. girls usually run 3.5km, whereas guys run 5 or 6km)
I have never run 5km in my life... ever. Well, maybe if we add up the total distance i run playing touch football or something, I'd probably get close. But for long-distance running, I've never run further than 4.5km (i ran that two years ago tho, when I was still sporty).
I started training this week. Two days ago I ran 2.5km in.... a very sad 24 minutes.... Not very good, ik.
Today, I ran the same distance in 19 minutes.... Still not very good, but way better than what I ran on Tuesday... Idk how i did it.
But anyway, I'm really unfit now (the COVID diet of eating junk food for every meal also isnt helping) and I am fully prepared to die when I run 5km...
