So, last year was my first ever year in cross country. I won\u2019t say I\u2019m good- even with a knee injury, you\u2019re probably faster than me haha! I started to have problems after awhile because of the lack of time I gave for my body to adjust &#8211; I went from almost no running to 3-4 miles a day pretty quick. It\u2019s a LOT of hard work, but the thing is, you don\u2019t want to completely kill yourself when your body isn\u2019t used to intense running. Start gradual! A mile a day! The next week, start going 2 miles! You got this!! Remember to also get tons of sleep- your body needs more with all that running. I haven\u2019t been running much, and I\u2019m trying to get back into practice too. We got this!!! Together!!! Start gradual, get sleep, and stay positive!!<\/div>\n<\/div><div class=\"thefa-test2 thefa-entity-placement\" id=\"thefa-1863563146\"><div id=\"thefa-2889555121\"><style>.thefa-test2 {margin-bottom: 24px;}<\/style>\r\n<div class=\"banner-content-position light-viol\">\r\n<div class=\"banner-text max400\">Don't let a good life slip away<\/div>\r\n<a href=\"https:\/\/start.thefabulous.co\/onboarding\/fabulous-initial?utm_source=community-qa&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=afterfirstquestionoranswer-purple-achievegoals\" class=\"banner-cta red w-inline-block\">\r\n<div>Start today<\/div><\/a>\r\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n<div  class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Isabella F.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">Hi there, so sorry to hear that! Considering this has been prolonged, I assume you\u2019ve already contacted a specialist. But if you haven\u2019t, definitely stay in touch with a sports medicine specialist or physiotherapist or something &#8211; they can give you exercises to help improve your knee. After that, I\u2019d say start your fitness training with low-impact activities. Swimming, cycling, or using an elliptical is good to start. Also try investing in more proper running shoes? Something w adequate support &amp; cushion. A speciality running store can give advice on shoes based on your foot type.<br \/>\nHope this helps!<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div  class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Jaaslyn S.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">I ran XC (Cross Country) in Middle School &amp; I know the ey are usually pretty good about going at your pace at progressively bettering you &amp; your performance. My mother did the same thing when she injured her knee during basketball. She ran XC &amp; was able to better her knee in one season! I would practice consistently, even if it\u2019s a small practice. I would definitely keep track of your times and consistently practice running miles.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Holly A. HEY!!! Cross Country runner here.
