When it’s all said and done, will you have said more than you’ve done?
I was a middle of the pack runner in high school, so take this with a grain of salt. There really isn't enough information to tell what if anything he is doing wrong. He may be pacing himself wrong in the race, he may not have the mental part of the race down, he may not have enough of a base, he may not have enough speed for a shorter XC race but does better on longer training runs and probably would do better on longer races, maybe his effort is harder on training runs than the varsity runners, etc.
Feeling the growl again
Some of the races are more challenging than our training runs.
