I am going into my junior year of high school and in spring track I ran 4:55 mile and 10:45 two mile off of 30 miles a week (3 long runs and 3 track workouts). I'm trying to break 17 in the 5k this season. What should I try to peak my mileage at if I have 9 weeks until the official season starts and I have already built up to 55 mpw?
I'd say stick around 55-65 mpw this summer. Every week have a long run, quality tempo run, and aerobic fartlek/interval session. Really focus on the quality of your miles and on not getting injured. Depending on how long you've been working on your base you can consider adding some hill work before the season.
If 55 still is new territory to you then maybe that's your answer.

Ah, High School.
I’m a D2 female runner. Our coach explicitly told us not to visit LetsRun forums.
