I'm not sure what you are saying there, but if I played runningback in high school in North Dakota, there is a good chance I would be running into guys that weigh less than 200 and run a 5.0 forty.
Not the 265 lb. 4.5 forty variety that you speak of. Those are NFL players.

If from the eight grade moving forward, if I only played football and lifted, I could have 200-210 pounds on my 5' 10" frame, instead of 140. Then I wouldn't be small, and I have the natural athleticism to be able to compete most likely.
Also whoever was talking about the helmets and pads vs. cut-offs thing... don't even go there. I have done the "running" portion of the football conditioning, and it is not hard. We run in shorts because it is less weight and obviously cooler so when we get done with our 200 minute run we aren't unconscious.

Are you trying to say that cross country is easier or harder than football?
You stated that, had you trained for it, you could have been good at football. Is the inverse not also true?

I play football, but I think that XC is a harder sport if you really try at it, cause i'm sure I could go and run a 5k and think nothing of it, but I also think that I could go out and run a 5k as best as I possibly could and by the end of the race, I would probably prefer to just keel over dead than deal with the pain in my body. In football, you can't really reach that level of exhaustion, cause you wouldn't play as effectively if you did. You get to take breaks, and you kind of have to take breaks.

So did you just create this thread to bash cross country or what?
Let's see "football_lives_on", what have you accomplished in your sport that allows you to be so condescending?

You have no idea how bad you can feel after a race. I'll leave it at that.
Would temporarilly losing mobility in your limbs, and your vision going white seem like anguish?
