I have 7 weeks to get into sub 15 xc shape. Current prs 2:03 4:39 and 15:42. Plan is to go 65 MPW, 70, 75, down week around 50, 80, 85, 90. This would consist of a long run, tempo and 400m hill reps as well as a mix of easy doubles most days. Highest previous mileage week was 70 and I am hoping to hold at 80 in season. Thoughts?
Why do you need to be in sub 15 shape in mid August?
Regarding the mileage, I'm not sure if you're starting from zero but going from 0-65 miles, especially when the highest you've ever ran is 70, is a sure fire way to get injured before your season even begins.
Also those track times (I assume they are track times) are pretty slow for the 5k. 15:00 pace would be only 9 seconds slower than your mile time.
Just mimic last year’s base phase but slightly bigger
You might be good holding 70-80 a week in season but just make sure you get rest with the aggressive build up
Hit the breaks the first week in season and go down to 50 then go back to 70-80
And don’t be afraid to take off a day if you need it, good luck
