The leaves have changed color. There is some cold in the air when you run in the mornings. And in some regions, you have already had snow. It is time for cross country season to get really serious, like conference and league meets, sectionals, state and NCAAs.
Stay focused, this is the time that challenges you, but stay on task.
Saucony RBR Fall Cross Country Training Program, Week 18, Day One
Monday: warm up, 45-50 minute run, 8 x 150 meter strideouts, cooldown
Start to think of how you want your season to end, with PRs? with league title? Write your goals on a postcard, and put them on your mirror, so you see it each and every day. Write it on your calendar on your mobile and have it repeat each day at same time. Read it. Live it.
