I'm about to go to 10th grade. I've been running since 8th grade XC. I did good with the little training I had(17:52 5k and 5:01 mile) but ever since then I haven't had a season go by XC, track(indoor and outdoor) without missing a huge chunck of time. I don't know what to do.
I think your PR's are probably a little faster, Mo.
Ok back to seriousness. What injuries are you getting/prone to? The only advice I can give you with that information is: Don't get injured.
Maybe it's too high mileage for you at the moment.
Maybe it's not recovering properly between workouts.
Maybe it's a stride problem.
Maybe it's a lack of core and strength.
Maybe you're racing too much.
Maybe the workouts you're doing are too hard.
Maybe you aren't following the right plan.
Maybe you're wearing the wrong shoes.
Maybe it could be a million other things.
Trust your intuition. What do you think is wrong?
Here's a quote from my coach:
"You don't want to be training harder than the rest, you want to be training smarter than the rest."
I wear adidas energy boost (neutral shoes)
I only run 30 - 40 miles per week
I do core twice a week
Dont go hard in workouts
Sleep 8 hrs
Eat good
Its just when i play other sports that i get hurt
Why in the world do you play other sports?
You're never going to improve much if you're a multi-sport competitve athlete. It's great if you want to be good at everything, but not if you want to be great at one thing.
All serious athletes I know choose one sport, because otherwise they'd get injured (like you), burnt out, or they wouldn't improve at all. You keep getting injured because you want to be great at everything, but that's impossible. Choose your priority sport and sacrifice the rest--especially if it's running. Basketball players can run track off season, but runners can't play competitive basketball.

If Daniel's and Pfitz are outdated..then where do I look for modern training plans?
