Cross Country Running : What to Wear for Cross Country Running

[w4r7]

response:

hi peter...long siiiiiiiiiiiighh insert here.

[MRF33LG00D]

"wear nylon or some other material, just avoid cotton" as he wears a cotton fruit of the loom tank top

[ostateballer1]

you are so dumb home boy fo real

[Ayedyn]

then i saw expert village "sigh now i leave"

[naqiksah93]

Basic,,,

-.-"

[craigwalters]

I find lycra training pants better than shorts. No chafing

[suxctf]

More and more I think "Expert Village" just went up to some random swimmer and told him to talk on camera for 10 minutes about running, not realizing at all that swimming and running aren't exactly one in the same just because they both race.

[suxctf]

There's no such thing as a "fitted" shoe in comparison to any other shoe. Also, big shoe stores are notorious for not tailoring their athletic advice to discerning foot-type to a shoe. That's what specialty stores are for. I urge those looking for shoe advice to not approach a "big shoe store" (whatever that means) with questions on shoes - they'll always just recommend the most expensive one.

[yoson14]

read the bio, it says peter is a varsity swimmer. Why is he giving tips on cross country?

[JaySFaires]

YOU NEED SEXY SHORTS!!!!!!! lol

[firecrack789]

Um.. It's Asic, not Basic

[suxctf]

@firecrack789 I noticed that too. Asics* actually. I think he just saw the company name, and with the logo next to it, it looked like "Basic." Not knowing the company name, though, is a clear indication that he was just asked to wing it on camera because they were too lazy to find a distance runner.

[robbyboxers]

Peter is HOT!

[michaeljphoto]

stop this guy from offering any type of advice,

he is an idiot that doesn't have a clue

[backtodacahpett]

i'm a big fan of the brand "basic"

[PT0088]

What is he talking about (confused)???



[nicksox94]

I hope no one took this seriously

[GrowThirdLeg]

Seriously, This is ridiculous.

And cotton is "breathable" and I've never had it stick to me, but I have had nylon stick to me.

[ladysus973]

What the hell is this dude talking about? He knows nothing about cross country training.

[cooldogcool51]

if you want good running stuff for your feet running for kicks is your best bet

[runescaperunner]

tank tops are for fags... you go with no shirt and when its cold enough for a t-shirt then its probably cold enough for a long sleeve shirt

[PsychoticTwilighter]

what if you're a girl

[zdogsoldier401]

this is a bullshit video.....this guys knows nothing

[hiphopopotomus999]

This guy sucksss, why is he telling cross country runners what to wear, when he is a average swimmer

[lsolate]

hi my name is peter

*sigh*

and im going to tell you about cross country running

so you really love your job? lol

[road2stamfordbridge]

@lsolate I think he just ran out of breathe!

[babybloutattoo]

wtf his shorts are hella long. this guy's an idiot... if you wear a jacket like that you look like a douchebag and its uncomfortable anyways

[TheBraziliantV]

Im sure he didn't mean to wear a jacket like that...

[Zavita18]

haha i hate those short shorts they make us wear for races.

[babybloutattoo]

its hilarious on my team the he gives the guys really short shorts, but he makes us (girls) wear suuuper long shorts. or maybe they just seem super long cuz the guys and girls wear the same, and the girls just have shorter legs...

[Zavita18]

haha maybe but yeah i see girls that wear the shorts im wearing like for regular clothes lol i like it when my shorts come to my knees not the end of my boxers lol

[dicksonisballa]

nike free 5.0 are really good too

[lycantropher]

hey do you think I'll be able to compete. I can only run 2 kilometers max and in 9 minutes. I can probably run 5k if i pace myself. school training starts in two weeks. i train hard on weekdays and rest hard on sundays. any help would be appreciated.

[goodmd1242]

how do you rest hard!?!?!

[Aly3334]

thx for advice..... :)

[Sportsman1458]

brooks are the way to go i have the switches

[alphaman03]

Asics are the best they feel so damn good

[potterrules099]

i dont trust this crap!!! my xc coach said wat we wear is fine as long as it is runnable in[except jeans] and a comfy shirt...... DONT TAKE IS ADVICE GET ADVICE FROM ANOTHER VIDEO!!!!!!!!

[freerunnerman888]

when it comes to shoes for cc i recommend asics and brooks

[Brandonlcosta]

fuck that. short shorts and no shirt is the way to go.

[eseguey007]

haha i agree wit ya

[gosselinlover07]

HELLZ yah, DavisCas! lmao ur coach!

[DavisCas]

I disagree with him every where our coach is a badass he lets us run shirtless and i choose short shorts to shorts that are close to my knees.Asics are the most badass running shoe ever!

[xxcdemon08]

hell yeah you got that right! ever try the ds trainer from asics? best damn thing ever! XD

[DavisCas]

No I will sometime now. Right now I have Gel Nimbus which are pretty nice.

[xxcdemon08]

oh yeah those are comfy.

[14TheCountryboy]

he kept grabbing his  boobs lol

[cheergirl1194]

i ummm am going to run in a a sports bra under my shirt off course ill have a reagular bra underneath it butt i have adidas shorts just a regular shirt and bounce asics running shoes lol buttt wtf dude stick to your drugs not running

[troubledzebra]

dont go to a big shoe store they dont have the personal service or specialty shoes necessary for different types of people. A small shoe store will tell you what you need.

[Razor524]

Try this, running shorts, a singlet, and shoes custom fit at a running specialty store. If it's cold layers of moisture wicking material on top (sweater haha) and running tights or pants, hat or band, and gloves as necessary. There "expert"village was that really so hard? He looks like a gymnast to me. Not a bad thing, just doesn't look like running would be his forte.

[littlegymnast04]

i hav nike pegasuses. when i got hem my xc times acually improved. thier awesome shoes. i love xc

[Charlieboy19424]

Looks like he's trying to show off his body more than know what he's actaully saying about clothes to run in.....

Just wear whatever the heck you want to run in.

[flame123652]

rofl, everything on there was almost made up, except for the cotton part. Never wear cotton competetively.

Btw It's asics not basics.

[WeFlyHigh77]

wannna know what i sress in

booty shorts

some times sphagetti strap shirts

high pony tails

and running shoes

there ya go

[dingdongfxck]

did he say Basic....

[leprechaun909]

yes lol

[imasupercuttrolldoll]

look buddy you wanna no what i run in

sports bra

booty shorts

so stick that in your pipe and smoke it.

[Darken3dEdge]

yummy.

[sorellman]

You should see this guy giving swimming lessons on youtube. He's definitely looking for attention.

[abchangk]

nikes!

wooo

[gigityguy]

this shit makes me laugh so fucking much.

Mac Fleet showed me this hahahahahaha

[monstermitch58]

nike mayflys FTW!

4.0 oz

[umbrellaeha]

yay! i have asics! XC!!! ALL THE WAY!

[emeraldstorm12]

i run. asics are good but like mizuno are pretty good to. yea he dosen't really know what hes talking about

[jvali10]

First off, I hope when you said "basic" you really meant "Asics" (it's a very popular shoe)

u should just go jump off a bridge when you said "for wear, you actually put your pressure on the grtound every time you hit when your running" Thanks Captian Obviuos, tell me something I don't know...what, did you think most people didn't know that their feet hit the ground when they run...and push-ups do not help you run fast...I'm going to watch the rest of your videos and see how retarded they are

[cabrerafamily09]

im in 9th grade abd i joined cross country and im one the best at running

[bencuxac]

but i have realy skiiny legs i will look stupid wearing shorts but i can still run better cross country than all of you haha im gunnna take over the world with my imense skills lol.

[04231968]

I don't know...it's all about compression for me. CW-X has great running gear that is expensive but I won't run without it.

[ussoldiersm316]

get adidas bostons !!

[Mannings1988]

I don't think they are the most suitable shorts for xc!

[SatchelsProductions]

lol i do cross country

[vc96]

lmfao who wears tight-cotton muscle shirts for xc, and normal running shoes? you use spikes

[t3po7re54]

Nobody wears spikes during a regular run, only during meets.

[vc96]

yea but the title says cross country. running shoes are obviously fine for just jogs and road running

[exps35]

contradictory statement much?

[vc96]

my point is, what hes doing isn't cross country running at all.

[PaintballNoob4]

how are your shoes so clean...

[ironbubble]

peter..hahaha

[LouisMusic2007]

?????

[googleitdawg]

my team wears fucking hardcore shortshorts and brooks baby and we run shirtless cuz we hot lol

[dinnsfire5]

0:45. Its pronouced Asics, not Basic

[jmlp15]

Dude calm down its going to be ok.

[JordyNelz]

He's saying "basic" as in..."your basic brands...nike, adidas, etc." He's not talking about Asics.

[vc96]

no he isn't, he listed some brands

[jbgnordic]

i picked up the same thing

Asics are the best!

[Invinciproductions]

I would call that more of casual cross country, even at the High School level were having to utilize much more than what you are mentioning.

[HighStatusRoyalty]

or just wear whatever the hell your team wears.

[thewho2991]

wow no way i never would have known that :P

[pyrodude431]

fuck u spikes and a uniform with underaurmor and copreson shorts are the way to go you suck

[chellybeans164]

spikes are just for races

[masiello101]

thx now i know what to wear for a cross country meet im a serios runner in my middle school

[PaintballNoob4]

no don't follow this it sucks wear what your team wears

[NavySEAL354]

Running to me is fun, but if you don't run in proper SHOES, that's it, Shoes, then you will seriously fuck yourself over. Everything else is a bonus, but without proper shoes you increase your chance for injury in your foot, ankle, calves, knees, and hips. I've had strained hip flexors before due to overworking my body, and shoes that were 2 years old. That was not a fun experience.

[xxcdemon08]

two words:

NOOB VILLAGE

XD

[WinterTroll]

He forgot to mention that the shorter your shorts are, the better

[chellybeans164]

haha

[jacobsaunders81]

i meant what he said lol

[jacobsaunders81]

"what shoes is" eh?

[Hfromvhame6]

he's wearing asics, there an awesome brand

[girlciousa]

thankssssssss

[weirdspencer]

watch?v=xQCwHNdkVEo

[starbrighter]

I used to cheat in Cross Country, I would get behind everyone, cut through the woods, and finish first!!!

[dejavu3552]

haha smart man smart man lol

but that defeats the purpose of running

i do it to get in shape for soccer

[WinterTroll]

Dude that's b.s... if you were on a team, you would never be able to pull that shit off more than once or twice because the coach generally has a good idea of who the stronger and weaker runners are.... and if you sucked ass at practice and then won the meets, he would have noticed there was something shady about you.

[starbrighter]

I ran for exercise not for glory, I ran a lawnservice and had the hottest girl in my highschool, so I had to save my energy for her too.

[WinterTroll]

Dude think about it. You say you "ran for exercise". Like you couldn't have just "run for exercise" on your own time? You just HAD to join a cross country team and cheat? That's pretty low, man. I feel sorry for you.

[emiilyxk]

wow ur not a true runner true runners don't cheat. True crosscountrieists work for their time unlike you.

[H364]

He means the three types of running shoe, not the brands.

I.e. Structured, motion control & neutral - All for different types of 'pronation' as mentioned in the video, as 'how your foot hits the ground.'

[clowreid]

there is more than 3 types of shoes..... Asics, Brooks, nike, new balance, mizuno, adidas, saucony... all top of the line brands

[lilpup102]

i am in a team called the equalizers.i also went to JO cause im only 11

JO is the junior olympics

[karil451]

I run 2 miles a day. At first it was really difficult then it started getting really, really easy.

[cicirunner]

Good job. You should try to increase it to 3, 4, 5, and challenge yourself.

[Bunechunk]

Try atleast 6 a day if ur going into cross country.

[LittleMissSunshineO8]

This person is just saying what attire to wear, he's not saying you should be lifting weights to get arms like his or that you should have a lot of upper body strength. It's also not on how to run or anything.

Personally, I find this video a little helpfull because attire can effect how you run. If you are wearing uncomfortable clothing it can effect the way you run. I think you should see his point. This is not a training video.

[aildfan08]

what a joke. for anyone woundering how to actually get good. Train.

Train like you never have before.

Run everyday. Hill workouts, long run for endurance, everything possible will get you better. none if this bullshit. oh you need this and that to become good. no you dont. I had 10 dollar walmart shoes when I started. TRUST ME JUST TRAIN

you will get farther training everyday. then sitting around look up videos on how to train. just get outside and run.

[bitt3r0blivion]

But when u are running 100+ miles a week you have to have good shoes or you will hurt yourself believe me been there before... he isn't meaning this is how u become a good runner he is saying to do this stuff so it can help u train... training is the most important but you should go out running in jeans and a polo shirt... its just stupid.

[aildfan08]

yea I understand that. Its only logical to have the right equipment. if your starting out you wont run 100 + miles a week. probably 20 then 30 and so on. you will worry about better shoes when you gradually get up to alota miles a week. I see your point tho too

[hottiexxoo98595]

i start running today from 6-8 and when school starts i have to run everyday from 3-5but i start today and thursday and friday and all week next week.

[drumsockid]

there are two weeks every year i dont run. one week after XC in the fall/winter, one week after track in the spring/summer.

otherwise, workouts twice a week is normal. long run 10-12 miles on sunday. saturday is either easy or a race. when i dont run, i bike or swim. i swim every day after school in the winter, and run. i lift weights after i swim for track. i do pool running workout on the weekends during the winter. its a non stop schedule, man.

[hottiexxoo98595]

woww. i c. lol

[drumsockid]

lol. have fun.

[rdrkx80]

I'm stealing your workout.

[toby099]

Your right about training hard and stuff but if you can afford it its really worth getting some decent shoes because injuries can basically screw your whole season up

[aildfan08]

yea I know about injuries

I messed up my leg from being stupid.

I was at cross country camp and all the guys were jumping off this cliff into water and I was like ok they did it so can I. well I jumped out to far and landed in a shallow spot. messed my leg up pretty good. couldnt walk for a while and now it hurts still.

[andielite91]

...did I say 0-5, i meant 0-15+ there are about 20 videos made by this guy. For those of you interested in learning "how to run cross country", don't listen to this guy, he's very confusing and misleading. This is more of a yoga video than anything. Few xc runners have arms like that, huge arm muscles are dead weight and will only slow you down. duh. Any one seriously interested in running, Do NOT take this guy serously. Find another video.

I do encourage you to watch all 20+ vids for a laugh!

[andielite91]

he's 0-5 so far on the "how to run xc vids" , i mean, just look at his sweater....wonder what the other vids are like.

[cicirunner]

haha did you notice how he does a deep *sigh* in the very beginning like he doesn't want to make this video.

[XDcody]

i noticed, i bet his friends made him do it :D

[sueyking]

WOW! look at the number of videos expertvillage has! wtf

almost 80,000!

[TheTruthTTT]

Most things are correct. He is very VERY vague. Wear comfortable clothing, NO jeans, NEVER jeans. Basically, light clothing that doesn't ride up. No sweater needed. It weighs you down if your running. If your jogging like a retired 80 year old, then do what you want. And yes, there is a huge difference between jogging and running. Speed.

[LinearCarp1209]

hmmm. i dont agree entirely w/ ur choice of clothes. but then again, this vid. is probably meant for people who have never run in their lives.

[mendozavelez]

first of all this guy does not look like a runner, and he does not know about running and no matter how much you try to teach someone how to run it wont work everyone has a different way to running, trust me!!!! but i do like your sweater but i would not wear that on a run..you would also like light cloths!!! its up to you what kind of cloths and shoes you wear!!! not everyone is going to wear what you wear!!! i run in very light cloths!!!! but it wasn't a bad vid.

[Gefty3294]

Everyone's a know it all. Give the guy a break.

[baranaba12]

i already know how to run dumbass

[wjs23]

I like the popped collar, fag.

[slhspacers19]

what a freaking moron...if it's cold wear a sweater??? if it really is "cold" where you need something wear some underarmour or nike dri-fit...not a sweater....if it's warm enough a t-shirt or no shirt...shorts...they are shorts...just don't be stupid....and shoes...get shoes that fit your feet and are comfortable for you....

[ManfredMitchum]

this guy don't know shit. you ought to wear as light of clothing as you can. also, you will need shoes with support depending on your foot type. people have different arches, and people can over or underpronate.

[NYCparkour]

this guy is wrong.

1) If it is cold, you are gonna get hot once you are running, don't wear a sweater -.-

2) Shorts..shorts don't matter so stfu.

3) Shoes, best shoes would be nike shocks.

[gamer4life11]

the shocks arent good for long distance running get the 5.0 for a training long distance shoe those are the best distance

[mp3runner16]

how is this guy wrong shorts do matter and shoes there is a diff type of shoe for everyone.

[FillUp703]

WTF basic? its asics

[TheTruthTTT]

Basketball shorts, shirtless or just any shirt actually. He's wrong about the shoes. Shoes just impact how much your pronate. Try getting a shoe that adjusts to how you hit the ground. However, try getting the correct stride first.

[room302]

lol did he just say asic, basic? for the shorts rofl

[xcstar001]

yea he did, hes a fag, doesnt know shit

[andielite91]

basic.....lol

[rosiegordon]

Nice boob cupping at 0:27

[NYCparkour]

lmao!

[AJCookrules]

I think he should take that top off.... lol

[ATPADPenergy]

I agree there - in this particular video the bloke's just talking about gear, although I hope he's referring to polyester not nylon when discussing the most suitable shorts.

[kju1289]

none of this stuff matters ur either good or not, i run cross country at my middle school and i got first 3 times out of 5 trust me this doesnt even matter

[benjamen92]

the shoes to matter alot i hva props wit ma legs and im currently out for 4 weeks cause the tendon goin frm my shin to my foot is going dwn at an angle causing the foot to role flat footed. anyways i need special insoles

[moosebawls]

I think he's cute...damn it

[joshryker]

You are hella, hella, hella, HELLA gay, dude.

[avatarmn]

Takes one to know one, guy with Jem video taking his name from Ken Ryker.

[joshryker]

Ouch. Score!
