Running enhances your body in different ways.

Endurance running, naturally, increases your stamina and forces you to learn to breathe in a batter manner. It also helps to tone the muscles in your arms and legs, as well as other places on your body. It's a full cardio workout.

Sprinting does very much the same but also enhances your speed capabilities and your form.

Yes, cross country is good for your leg muscles, endurance, and heart rate. It is bad for some of your joints though because of the constant pounding that the joints have to take, but proper care can reduce the problems that occur.

The major point of cross country running is to finish in the highest place you can get to score points for your team. Remember the team with the most points from their first 5 players to finish wins.
