Which is preferable to y'all and arrangement of workouts for a 27 year old female runner. would be running 80-90 mile weeks for summer base for cross country.

If there was such a thing as a 10 day week, would it have 5 days on the weekend or would there be 8 weekdays?
oh, jeez why do I even bother.........
What are the other days called?

Not as bad as the contraction ya'll... that doesn't even make sense.
Also, 7 day week is better for no reason than it's more convenient. Consistency is really important -- being on a weekly schedule makes it easier to do that.
if you can handle that much mileage I believe you can use a 7 day training week. I always felt that if you needed days off or more days to recover in between workouts than a 10 day training week is the way to go.
If you are jumping up in mileage or intensity then consider a 10 day week.
I was wanting to bring my mileage up to around 90. I was just worried about getting quality in with the added miles and recovering properly.

If I wanted to get my mileage up to 90 I would just change to a 15 day week and keep running my 6 miles a day- problem solved. In fact, maybe I could have a 20 day week and then I'd only need to run 4.5 miles each day. This idea is genius!
Is this the dumbest thread ever or the dumbest troll job ever? According to the OP, I've been running 100 mile weeks forever, depending on how I define "week."
Well, you're retarded then. She still means 90 miles in 7 days. But with a 10 day training cycle.

I jut think those syllables sound funny ND would work as days! I like this setup. Only 36 weeks a year!
sigh..........I assumed you could figure it out, guess I gave you too much credit. Wowie on a related note such clever comments! you boys must be beating the ladies off with a stick or just beating off:)
Chat noir, I know, its impossible to get a serious post...especially when they know you're a female!
Anyway, I have been doing 10 day weeks since I graduated college (3 years ago). I increased my mileage from 60 to 90 and felt a lot better when I spaced out my workouts. I find that I don't recover as fast as most, so taking more than a day or 2 in between long runs and workouts was the way to go for me. Like another poster said, consistency is key. Coming from 5ks and 10k to running marathons now, the 10 days works for me.
Hope I could help!
You guys are being way to technical. It's obvious she meant training cycle.
To answer the question, I think it kind of depends on the individual, what they're training for, and what time of year it is. It's pretty simple and easy on the mind to stick to a 7 day cycle, and that's probably best when you're doing mostly base work and early season stuff. As your training gets more specific, you need to start varying your schedule more. This can mean anything from a 10 day cycle to no cycle at all, just doing whatever you feel you need to work on.
thank you!
I've heard the Hansons use a 10 day cycle so you try to look into that. Maybe you could run on a 10 day cycle for a month to get used to higher mileage then move it to 7, as that's how it will be approached during the season. Or maybe do a 2 week cycle where you do a long run every two weeks
