Hi at the moment i am a hurdler and 100m sprinter and i wanted to know could i become a cross country runner?

and what exercise/diets/workouts and footwear i would need i currently can hurdle in 14seconds and run 100m in 13seconds without any special coaching/clothing or trainers i've always wanted to do cross country running and alot of people have told me skipping/swimming are excellent ways to expand my lung capacity take in mind im year/grade eight and im slim build and very tall about 5,4-5,5
