Summer training is the key to your success in Cross Country. Your summer training should consist of one long run every week, a fartlek or tempo type run, lots of hills (the new section at Robinson Preserve, Green Bridge, Celery Fields, Kay Road, Ringling Bridge, etc.), some easy runs, and regular cross training, including strength training, biking, swimming, yoga, etc. Summer mileage will be your foundation for the XC season. It takes 10 weeks to build an aerobic base. You will enjoy the XC season and have success if you commit to summer training. If you put in the work, you will start XC on July 29, 2024 in the best shape of your life.
