Cross Country (Boys & Girls):
Keep a running log or an online tool like Strava. Girls who submit a log totaling at least 200 running miles and boys who submit a running log totaling 250 miles will receive a T-Shirt recognizing your off-season efforts. Stay tuned for news on optional team workouts.
Start summer training on June 17th. If you would like to run before then, make sure you are running for fun and keep it easy.
June 17th to July 6th is time to build an aerobic base. A good goal to shoot for is running four to five days a week at a comfortable pace. If you are new to the sport, work up to running 15-25 miles per week. If you have a couple years under your belt, run 25 - 35 miles. If you want to cross train, run three days a week and bike, swim, climb mountains or hike the other two days.
July 7th through August 11th is the time to start building strength, power, and speed. Three workouts a week will be very important for your training. For the other two to three days, cross training or easy running miles should fill in around these three workouts. Be sure to take one to two rest days.
Weekly long runs starting around 30 minutes sustained running and building to 60 minutes for beginning runners, and experienced runners sustaining 60 - 90 minutes effort. Pace should be comfortable.
Hills - find your favorite hill or a long uphill trail and go hard up for about 200 to 300 meters. Jog down and repeat again to build to 8 to 10 repeats by the end of summer. Be sure to warm-up and cool down before and after.
Speed - choose one of the following workouts to do each week (with warm-up and cool down):
2-3 mile tempo run on a flatter stretch of road or trail
two to four one mile repeats
four to six 800 repeats - talk to a coach for specifics on rest and pacing.
