Anyone experience big jumps in XC to the range I want to get to? What changed in your training? What key implementations would you suggest? I have talked to a few and they swear by mileage bumps. I'm thinking of bumping my miles from 75-80 a week to 100-105 a week consistently.
Hopefully this can be a thread that answers a lot of questions so people can look here instead of having to create multiple threads.
Just don't get injured and you'll improve. Long term, this is what you want. 75-80 to 100-105 invites injury.
One year? Just run

as many miles as possible without getting injured. If you have good endurance but weak muscles then weight train more. if you have strong muscles but weak endurance then run more.
Make modest adjustments, nothing dramatic, strengthening your weaknesses, maybe 5 mpw more or a bit longer or faster tempo, or more strides. If you were specific about your training, it would be easier to see if there is any obvious weakness. Don't get yourself injured with a major change.
Run 10 seconds per 1600 faster.
