High School Running High School Training

Freshman year I ran ~30mpw. Sophomore year, for cross country I ran ~40-mpw, ran 17.2x of that. Now that I am gonna be a junior and have two years left to prove myself, I have to start putting some work in if I want to get a chance at running at a good college. I am building up to 6.5 hours a week 50-55mpwfor junior XC and hope to run 16:00-30s this season.

I respond well to mileage and am better at longer stuff. I am not that injury-prone and have plenty of dirt roads, grass and hills to get nice and strong. I wanna build up some real big mileage (big for me at least).

This is what i was thinking:

Junior xc 55mpw

Junior track 60mpw

Senior xc 70mpw

Senior track 75mpw

Plans like this are useless. Nobody can tell how you will respond to higher mileage. Run a 55 mpw, see how you feel and how you recover during the 45 mpw right after. Run a 60mpw and again see how you recover. If you can't get your quality aerobic work in, you know you can't keep upping the mileage.

The big thing is around 60 most people start thinking doubles. You get to about 60-65 with an hour a day of easy running (call it 7-9 miles) and like a 90 mile run once or twice a week. We like to talk about mileage but running 12 miles as 8&4 is a lot easier than going out at running it straight if you have the time
