Quiting XC to lift for senior year. Correct choice?

Opportunity costs my friend. Either you stay in the comfort of your new social circle and keep running, while remaining skinny. Or you venture into the unknown of having to meet new people, and the possibility of changing your body to one you desire more. Choice is yours brah

If you like XC and it's benefits, stick with it. There's nothing wrong with that, you can be the alpha of XC. Your call.

I did distance running but I was never lean for it, I was always moderately jacked. Great benefits and girls love seeing a guy who can run who doesn't look like a holocaust victim. Running shirtless (assuming you got it to rock it) around the area is always a surefire way to kick up a conversation with a girl who might of seen you. I can't tell you how often I've gotten the "oh I see you running around every now and then".

You can have your cake and eat it too. Keep doing XC. Hit the gym, eat a lot. Let your overall performance drop, who gives a shit. You still fulfill the important aspects, a social surrounding, a leadership position and the opportunity to stack bitches.

Quit XC, go to the gym, join a sport that interests you that has more social proof. If Lacrosse is a thing where you are, do that. You'll play JV but you'll have a ton of fun and be around people who actually party and get girls. You don't have to know anything about it, it's HS. Being a leader on XC means nothing, you can still associate with the XC girls if you actually made an impression. Don't just quit to lift, do a sport, organized sports were the greatest aspect of HS and should be taken full advantage of.
