-310 Track is for people that can't play any sports so they resort to running around in circles as fast as they can. amirite?

Uhm.... it takes skill... strength to do what we do. It's not just mindless running, we need to learn to pace ourselves for the running.... or get skill for pole vault or hurdles. Educate yourself.

Seriously. It takes as much stamina as most other sports.

Exactly. It's not like we just run and we can just do that out of nowhere. We have to train. It annoys me when people say -insert athletic activity- isn't a sport because they a. have never done it or b. don't understand the training they have to go thru.

I know! Simply to learn how to "run around in circles as fast as we can" takes learning proper breathing, strides, and pacing, let alone what other things we have to learn for other events. But I s'pose there's no use getting to riled up. It was only a joke after all. Though admittedly not the cleverest one in the world.

I'm JEALOUS of what they can do. It takes ALOT of skill and it's strenuous and tiring. Oh, and I may be wrong, but I'm pretty sure you mean "Anthony". Not "anothony".

Cross country and track and field are some of the most strenuous sports there are, because you are expected to use every single bit of energy you have in the race. If you're not almost dead at the end of a race, you didn't run hard enough. We don't just jog out there.

If xc/track was easy then they'd call it football.

I think track & field is great. But you know what's even better? Swimming =) But seriously, I have a great deal of respect for runners.

Cross country is for faggots. At least the running in track is watchable, and all the field events are cool

Like a Jehhova's Witness, your belief is wrong. Cross was the biggest waste of 2 years of my life

you might not have enjoyed it, but if you tried i bet you got into great shape. and your opinion isn't the same as everyone elses. actually your opinion is the opposite of most others

NOT TRUE! I usually just run the 100m, which is a straight line. But my racewalk is in 7 1/2 circles. And I also throw a bit.... And track and field is very difficult, believe it or not. It involves a shitload of running. It's all running. Even if you throw/jump, you have to do a lot of running. You should see our workouts~

Pretty good joke, unless you were being serious.

You are so wrong! I did track my first year at university. I can't even begin to describe the many grueling practices and weight training sessions we had to do to end up "running in circles''...

... You probably should have worded that joke a little better... It sounded like you were serious.
