Easy mileage, short hill sprints, strides, fartlek runs, steady runs and tempo runs. Focus on building up your mileage, maintaining basic speed via short hill sprints & strides 2-3 times a week and doing 2-3 good aerobic efforts a week via fartlek runs, tempo runs and steady state runs.

Lots of threads on here the past day or two on that same topic. Search them out.
Get in touch with your coach. Ask for guidance and workouts.
Run and don’t overeat
it really is that simple wrote:

To add on, try and be semi-conscious of your calorie intake. I've been running 70mpw and I've actually added up my calories and I'm not getting 3000 but I should be. You don't wanna over eat but under-eating will leave you tried and more susceptible to breaking down.
Also, look up the Summer of Malmo and read it a few times. Also the base phase part of this

How many weeks in were you? Maybe do a taper week or two and get in a solid time trial to build confidence and not feel like you just wasted a season. Maybe you'll run a PR. Before taking a week off and slowly building a base. You have a lot of time to (more than normal) to build base for XC.
