In between My track and XC season, I know that hard track sessions are generally not reccomended, but I heard that this workout could be done then, provided it was not pushed too hard.
1mile hard
1.5mile tempo
1200 hard
1.5mi tempo
800 hard
1.5mi tempo
400 all out
What do you guys think? Can I do it during my summer tranining without peaking or hurting or whatver?
No. Do it 3-5 weekz before goal race.
If you don't push it hard then it's not the Michigan. It's "The Ohio"
You start with a 1600 fyi
Stupid workout in general..This workout did win Wisconsin like 20 B1G xc titles in a row
You could do it, but it would be best done in August and way off the normal pace. I would say if you are a 15 min 5k runner, tempo would be around 6 min pace and the hard mile no faster than 5:30. At that point, it is basically an interesting fartlek.

Wisconsin has never done "The Michigan"
Yeah, running some high volume hard sessions in the summer is a good idea. The details don't matter, honestly, just run a some sessions that require you to push. In the summer it's a good idea to focus more on 'hard-by-accumulation' than 'hard-from-the-start' workouts. Progressive tempo runs by feel, not by the watch, are excellent.

I don't know the stats, but I'm guessing that was his point?
