After cross country I've been averaging between 20-25miles hitting 30 recently. I am very weak aerobically, incase you are wondering about my low mileage. I'm looking to peak the end of may for states in the mile. I was wondering if it is to late to increase my mileage to 35-40. Will I even see the benfits or is their not enough time?
Regardless of whether there's enough time to bump your mileage, there's certainly enough time to work on your spelling.
[I'll leave the serious answers to those with experience, particularly experience in coaching high schoolers.]
35-40? cmon...you aren't taking this seriously.
Start running twice a day - you have months!
Serious answers guys. Yes my spelling isn't great, but then again I am posting this from my phone so yeah.
For me it usually takes about two to three weeks to benefit from an increase in my training load, either volume or intensity. So If you up your mileage like you're talking about you'd probably start feeling it in mid to late February.
Just see that you don't sacrifice intensity, as that is important in the mile. At the levels you are talking about overtraining and injury shouldn't be an issue, but still be careful.
Ah ok right now I am mainly doing tempo based stuff. I'm thinking of going up to 35-37 this week and then cutting back down to about 25 then going back up to 35 and eventually 40. I feel like I am going to need a rest week after bumping up the mileage.

What is the most stupid running advice you've ever heard?🤣(It can be funny)
Are Asics, Saucony, and New Balance envious of Brooks, Hoka ,and On?
