I've heard of a few college teams that use a system based on high interval/race pace work (so pretty low mileage). Has anyone on this board been a part of a program like that, or has anyone tried it by themselves? I was curious to how it worked compared to other programs one has used. Also, does anyone do this for cross country?
this is pretty much what I did my soph/jr years of high school. worked great at 800/1600 but was lacking aerobic capacity for longer races. sr year I cut back the intensity and did longer intervals, plus added miles and ran a minute faster in cross and took 25 seconds off my 3200
Bad Strategy. Running that fast, day after day, gets real old in a hurry.
My Advice: Stop being lazy and trying to create a shorter mileage schedule. Get out the door and get those long runs in.

It's not lazy. I'm a low mileage guy because I get hurt if I run a lot. Also, if everyday you are running fast, it does get very difficult. It forces you to focus a lot. That seems like the opposite of being lazy. But I do believe a long run during the week is good however.
