If you're like I was, you've maybe heard of cross-country and maybe you even know that it has something to do with running, but you're not exactly sure what it is.  Cross-Country is one of the many varieties of running and is very common, but usually only at the High School level, with some Middle School and College teams also participating.  What exactly is "Cross-Country"?  Come find out!

In discussing teamwork in this episode I reference these two great books I recently read: Seven Habits of Highly Effective People by Stephen Covey and
Give and Take by Adam Grant

Running isn't all rainbows and roses, that's for sure.  In this episode, we'll dive into all the grossness that can be a part of running and how to make the most of these hard situations.  This episode has definitely been approved by middle school boys using all the great words like poo, pus, and puke.  Let the nastiness begin, and don't forget a few laughs as well.

What is training?  How is it different from just "running"?  What does training look like and how does it help us?  What if my training doesn't "work"?
