    I got swim team starting in a month then I have swim team for 3 months then another month of training before track. During swim team my mileage is only 15 mpw. For the next month I want to get a lot of mileage to make up for my lack during swim team. I plan on running 8 miles everyday until then. What pace should I go to get the best out of it. I want to have a really good track season in the spring (I run the 1 and 2 mile). I just finished the cc season with a 18:50 5k pr, if that helps with what pace I should run.

    wow dont do that thats not a good idea. What's your mileage been at?

    Do this ill assume you've been at 30 mpw

    Start at 30 mpw for the next 3 weeks doing 1 tempo run and 1 longer run and 1 off day

    Then go up to 35 miles for 2 weeks then 40 for 3 then 45 for 2 and stay there DONT GO HIGHER you risk injury. Do easy runs with 1 tempo and 1 long and 1 fartlek if you want

    8 minute pace does not feel that hard, but I struggle with recovering so my legs are always sore the next days doing 8 miles at 8 minute pace

    If this is not a troll (highly unlikely), then you are destined to get injured by forcing yourself to run 8mi everyday, regardless of the pace. Why not try running 30-40min everyday and build your long run up to an hour without feeling blasted? You are not ready to execute your original plan just yet.

    Why not, I've basically did this mileage all cross season, except this time no quality work

    I would think for 18:50 10k, it'd be around 7:00 for tempo runs, 8:00 to 8:30 for easy runs and 9:00 for recovery

    Why aren't you focusing on swimming during swim season?

    I don't care if I really do that good at swimming. I just do it to stay in shape.
