I'm a grade 8 girl using my 3k track training plan for my 3k XC season but I'm running most of it on grass and trail.
there is also some 200/400/600/800 repeats thrown in on the track.
it might not be the best XC plan but do you thinks it's OK? Better than nothing right? like will I at least beat all the girls who only play soccer?
longs runs are 7-8k
thanks.
It is a little late to be asking this question. You really needed to start training in July and August.
It certainly is better than no plan. The most important thing is that you RACE your races as hard as you can and you run your workouts under control.
2/10
not quite...
as for training I only took 1 week off since March 1st. That was at the end of July.
I am just saying that my XC plan is really a specific 3k track race plan.
I think that's a great plan while you're in 8th grade. It should keep you fast. You can work on increasing your mileage over the next few years once in high school. Your new coaches will be thrilled that you already have good speed and they just need to build the endurance.
yesterday I raced a hilly 5k in 22:45 on the road.
Talented girls that play soccer may still defeat you by a wide margin. Genetics tends to trump training.
Thanks for all the help.
I won and beat the soccer girls by 34 seconds so I'm happy with that.
Yes I am from Canada.
