I am currently a high school senior running varsity on my cross country team. This summer a pushed up my mileage to ten miles a day but I don't seem to be seeing the results from the work over the summer. My coach told me that this additional mileage would help to bring down my times below twenty minutes, but I am still struggling to get below 21 minutes. I am always nervous before races and am not sure that this may be affecting my times. Also I am known on my team as the practice runner because I alway perform very well in practices but fall behind the runners who don't work as hard in practice. I would really appreciate any advice on how to bring down my time, thanks
