Summer XC Mileage

45-50.

55-60

I had the same times when I was your age, just focus on eating out the door everyday. Don't overdo it tho so you still have a chance to grow your senior year. I suggest 45-50 miles but take some off days here and there, it's only summer

Getting

70-80.

Dream big.

Alan

my dreams arent to get hurt

You won't unless you are frail.

My first week of running ever I did 25 miles, first official practice week 49, that winter 60, that summer 70, next summer 80

Stop being so risk adverse.

Alan.

50-60 before junior year

60-70 before senior year

Take a couple of down weeks (25-30) every 3-4 weeks.

I do down weeks already, I will probably go down to around 45 for down weeks, not too low because it makes me feel as if i got no benefit from that week

In the down weeks your body will repair itself so you are stronger. Remember training brings your condition down. You only get faster and stronger during recovery.

I just noticed that hodgie-san replied. He's a 2:10 marathoner who was an absolute beast at every distance. Take whatever advice he gives you!

I'd say the training plan he recommended was definitely too hard, I feel that I would have trouble maintaining that right now.

You either want to be more than you are or you don't.

The only one who limits you is you.

The link is not working for the summer milage. It was great and I'd love to see that again

It's a sample plan, intended for an imaginary runner. What you should do is read through it and try to understand the approach Hodge is suggesting, based on his years of experience training with and racing against some of the best runners in US history.

I was thinking something like this,

weeks (1-3)

M- 4-5m E

T- 5m E

W- 5-6m E

Th- 6m E

F- 4-5m E

S- 5-7m E

Su- 3-4m E

Total- 32-38 (depending on whats needed)

weeks (4-6)

M (am)- 3-4m E

(pm)- 4-5m E

T- 5m E, + 4x200m strides (200m rec)

W- 5-6m E

Th- (am)- 3-4m E

(pm)- 4-5m E

F- 4-5m E + 4x200 strides (200m rec)

S- 9-10m LR

Su- 3-5m E (depending on whats needed)

Total- 40-50

weeks (7-12)

M- (am)- 4-5m E

(pm)- 5m E

T- 3-5m tempo (5:50-6:00) + 4x200 strides (200m rec)

W- 6m E

Th- (am)- 3-4m E

(pm)- 5m E

F- 5-6m E + 4x200m strides (200m rec)

S- 10-12m LR

Su- 3-5m E (depending on whats needed)

Total- 44-51
