Question

How to train yourself over the summer before Cross Country start in the fall?

Answer 1

Mileage is the key. Between June 1 and September 1, I run 1000-1100 miles. Most days are just long easy or steady runs (usually twice a day) with a day of hard hill repeats sometime during the week, and a very hard long run in the hills on the weekend. Towards the middle-end of summer, I start running more time trials and 5K races to get my body used to the speed and intensity. But that aside, mileage mileage, mileage.

Answer 4

Well, my coach has told me to start off with 10-15 minutes of running for one week and then gradually increase 5 minutes each week. Like 1st week would be 10-15 minutes, for the 2nd week, another 5 minutes is added.

Answer 5

Run!!!!!!! But make sure it isnt all flat land, try to run on hills. Also work on your start off and ending sprint. A way i try to stay in shape for cross country is doing 5 and 10 ks.
