Cross county question?!

Question

i want to run as much as the people do in cross country but since its not the school year i cant. I have a treadmill I'm my workout room so that will suffice but I want to run as much as the cross country people do. So how many miles do they usually run in a day?

Answer 1

a treamill is no substitute for real running. get outside

Answer 2

That really depends, first off you really need to get off the treadmill, its really not good for your stride especially when your running on an incline. For the mileage you might wanna get 3-5 miles a day depending on what kind of shape your in and throw a long run in there once a week. I'm like a state champ and I'm doing like 60 a week so probably half of that would be normal.

Answer 3

Depends on what race you want to run the 2k, 5k, or 10k. If there is others I'm not sure about then I'm sorry.

You want to run double of what you'll be running in competition just for the sake of stamina.
