How long should I take to bump my mileage from 50ish mpw to 80?
Right now I'm not running at all, but I'l; get back into it next week, and I want to be running 80-85 mpw thru the cross season

I'm topping out my mileage at something similar. I just started back up training a couple weeks ago.
I'm going 35-50-62-70-75-80, then keep clicking off 75-80 weeks and take a down week, maybe a 60 week, based on how I'm feeling.
I would not suggest going from 50 to 80-85, I would keep it at 70-75 at most. If you've only consistently hit 50ish maybe go 30-40-48-54-58-60, low week, 54-60-65-68-70, low week, then start clicking off upper 60's up into the mid 70's later on in the season. You'll have plenty of time before the season.
I won't suggest a plan for 80-85 as I don't believe in making that big of a jump in mileage, it would be hard to put together
Looks like a good plan, I think I'll do something similar. I ran around 65 consistently through xc last season, and ran 55 most weeks this track season, so it's not as big as a jump as it might seem. I was really only running around 50 a week for the last part of the track season. And thanks for the response!
