Best Answer

People do not see it as so because they do not like running. Running is on of the hardest things to do. Cross Country and Track (distance) are the hardest sports in the world because you need discipline, mental toughness, endurance, and speed. Other sports aren't used to having to actually do work and stay healthy. They eat and drink what they want. If anyone tells you that cross country isn't a sport and it takes no talent, skill, or thought, invite them on a run.
