Week 3, Day 5, Summer season Mileage Program
Welcome to the fifth day and third week of the 2024 Summer season Mileage Program, which runs for ten weeks till mid-September.
Our aim is to construct you into a powerful cross-country runner.
This week is week 3. Your trip is over. Now could be the time to construct constant constructing blocks to being one powerful cross-country runner. We need to assist all 560,000 girls and boys in highschool cross nation! We like it!
Friday is a relaxed flight.
When Joe Mangan and I have been teaching at Foothill Group Faculty in Los Altos Hills, California, we had a secret weapon: hills.
We’d actually take 800m to 5000m runners and, in six weeks, construct them into form to race a 4-mile cross-country run on powerful, hilly programs throughout Northern California. We did plenty of hill runs and hill repeats.
Hills are secret weapons that can make you stronger, whether or not you push them or take them simple. A day within the hills is more durable than a day on the flats—all the time keep in mind that!
We are going to use hills this summer time to construct your confidence, power and pace!

You probably did hill expenses yesterday, so hold it relaxed at the moment.
Right this moment, get in a superb 40-45 minutes, and in case you can, run within the hills, hold it relaxed.
Cooldown, stretch and hydrate!
