PREPARATION

SUGGESTED SUMMER TRAINING
IF NO PROGRAM IS GIVEN BY THE ATHLETE'S COACH

BE PREPARED: PLEASE COME WITH SOME TRAINING!
CAMP IS NOT WHERE YOU BEGIN YOUR CROSS COUNTRY TRAINING!

Ask your coach what your runs should be for the summer.
If you do not have a coach or a training plan, below is a suggested 8 week base training schedule:

NOTE: After your track season is finished, take two weeks off from running

  • Week #1: Run 4 days out of this week. Each run should be from 3 to 6 miles in distance, and at an easy pace.

  • Week #2: Run 5 days out of this week. Include one longer run of 5 to 8 miles.

  • Week #3: Run 6 days out of this week. Repeat pattern of Week #2, but include one day as a Tempo Run (faster than your Easy days). Also increase two of your Easy Run days by 1 mile.

  • Week #4: Repeat Week #3, but increase your Long Run Day by 2 miles!

  • Weeks #5, #6: Repeat Week #4, but increase your Long Run Day by 1 mile AND in addition to your Tempo Run, add a Hill Day. Hill Days include a 2 mile warm up jog and then either 2-4 miles working hills, or repeat a selected hill 8 to 10 times, followed by a 2 mile cool down.

  • Weeks #7, #8: Repeat pattern of Weeks #5,#6, but increase Long Run Day by 1 mile.
