This is my first year running cross country and by the end of the season I went from 32 minutes to under 27. My friend, who plays volleyball but doesn't do any sports like running, ran a 5k yesterday and got 26:37. It took me 3 months to just get under 27. How do you keep from getting too discouraged? More running?


Answer
I have won numerous 5 km national races.That does not mean that I can run well in a cross country race. You are comparing apples to oranges. Also, how many years more has he/she been playing volleyball. You are in your first year. You should go to the library and get some motivational books on running. Listen to some champions tell you how hard it was to succeed and how much you have to work for it.

Imagine being a football player who wants to go to the annual national championships. They do not get there in a year and by laying on a couch watching tv.

How is it possible that cricket batsmen are able to handle 145 km/hr deliveries for boundaries?

Most ordinary people can't even touch a ball this fast with their bat, let alone hitting it for 6 or 4 runs. So do these batsmen have super-eyes or extremely fast wrist movement?


Answer
Think of it like this, there are only a handful of batsmen in the world that will have this talent to do that consistently and be able to represent their country, the other 99.9999% of us mere mortals can only watch in awe.
