Okay, so this summer, I am on vacation with my parents for about a month or so. On many days, I will not be able to run outside. My original plan was to run about 40 mpw for my base training, but I don't think I can get that. What exercises should I do to ensure that I get a good base and have a good xc season next year?
I don't understand where you could be that would make it so you couldn't run outside.

I would suggest running, I hear that is a good exercise to ensure a good base for running.
Oh about that... I'm going to be in China, and rather occupied with family reunions and stuff during this time. The most I might be able to run is like 4 days per week. Should I just up the duration of those runs?[quote]Running again wrote:

0/10

Do 100 burpees.
Zero time to run? Go light on those dumplings.
That's Great! Keep us updated!

Can you walk? Do lots of walking. Hydrate well, sleep well, and take advantage of opportunities to eat lots of plant-based food: fruits, vegetables, green leafs, water lily, lotus... China has loads of herbal food. Unfortunately, social life in China centers around large families and eating insane amounts of food during n-course meals. I expect it may take you 14 months to recover from your 2 week vacation of stuffing yourself with all kinds of fish, duck, rabbit, chicken, shrimp etc. dishes. Hey you want to bring some oolong back for me? Some high quality sh!t from up in the mountains, all fragrant and rolled into loving embryonic pellets. Thanks, and post some pictures of your meals.
I'll probably be walking around for a large portion of the day.
