This XC season, I'm running around 16:4x for the 5k, consistently. Can I break 10 minutes in the 2 mile in winter track? If so, I'd like to know which training you guys suggest. I don't know whether I should rebuild a good base in addition to the normal intervals, tempo runs, etc. Ultimately I want to be running my best in the spring, but I'm shooting for a sub-10 this winter and I'm just wondering if it's doable.

Doable. I was running 16:20s in the fall and then hit 9:30s in spring (training improved). Utilize winter training! Don't worry about fast speed work until march at earliest. Bla bla bla I can't write a lot now

I have a kid who ran 9:55 last spring and so far is 16:38 this season, so, yeah! He was 16:55 last fall, btw.
