And you don't think you have to be mentally tough to run 10 miles a day?
As to being able to hit people. We had an exchange student from Germany on our team one year and someone cut him off in a race and he all out punched the guy in the face. It was hilarious. Also, you get the chance to spike people with the metal spikes on your feet.
XC definitely built my endurance and leg strength when it came to wrestling. Didn't do a lot for my upper body strength, so I hit the gym for that.
