Week 11, Day Seven, August 30, 2015, Sunday: Easy 10-mile run on grass or dirt with friends. (400 Mile: 8 miles/300 Mile: 7 miles). Keep this on soft ground and run relaxed. If you’re sore from Saturday, then really slow it down. If you have any pain, consider cutting it short.

Week 11: Early Season Racing Begins

Your first real race will be a revelation. You should be able to handle the distance, but your pace may be slower than you expect. Don’t worry. You’ll recover quickly and should be racing fit in 3-5 races. Only the 500 Mile group should be doing morning runs beginning this week.

Monday: Warm up; 6-mile run (400 Mile: 5 miles/300 Mile: 3 miles); 8×150 yds relaxed strideouts on grass, jogging back to the start after each, no rest between; cool down.

Tuesday: 1-mile warmup; 20-min tempo run, Fartlek (see below), 1 mile cooldown. To determine your tempo run pace, add a half-minute to your present mile pace for a 5K. So if you can run 18:30 for a 5K now, that’s a 6:00 pace. Add 30 seconds to get your tempo run pace of 6:30 per mile. Recalculate your pace as your fitness improves, about once a month. For Fartlek, do twenty minutes of five minutes race pace, five minutes moderate pace, then, two minutes race pace, two minutes moderate, two minutes race pace, two minutes moderate, one minute hard, one minute moderate, then, cooldown.

Wednesday: Warm up; 6-mile run (400 Mile: 4 miles/300 Mile: 3 miles); 8×150 yds relaxed strideouts on grass, jogging back to the start after each, no rest between; cool down.

Thursday: 1-mile warmup; 8 hill repeats (run 200 yds uphill, turn, jog downhill to the start. Repeat 7 more times, no rests); on the flat at the bottom of the hill, try for 8×150 yds as easy strideouts, jogging back to the start, no rest in between; then, Repetions: 3 minutes race pace, times five, with two minutes easy runnng between repetitions, then, cooldown.

Friday: Warm up; 6-mile run (400 Mile: 5 miles/300 Mile: 3 miles); 8×150 yds relaxed strideouts on grass, jogging back to the start after each, no rest in between; cool down.

Saturday: Easy warmup; 5K race. Go out well, but pick it up each mile. With 800 meters to go, see what you can do. (400 Mile: 5K race/300 Mile: off)

Sunday: Easy 10-mile run on grass or dirt with friends. (400 Mile: 8 miles/300 Mile: 7 miles). Keep this on soft ground and run relaxed. If you’re sore from Saturday, then really slow it down. If you have any pain, consider cutting it short.

Week 11 Total: 500 Mile-52 miles; 400 Mile-37 miles; 300 Mile-29 miles


The 2015 RunBlogRun Summer Cross Country Challenge is part of a program that goes back to 1996-1998, when we started online training programs on the American-trackandfield.com site. The RBR Program has been going since 2007 and it comes from conversations with some of the top junior and national coaches across the country. Tempo Runs, Hill runs, and Long runs, along with core work and proper nutrition and sleep are crucial. Special thanks to Tim Hutchings and David Frank on their suggestions to improve the weeks 9-12.

Please find weeks 1-10 below. Let me know if you have any questions or suggestions! Send inquiries to runblogrun@gmail.com.

All the above were primo cross country runners, and all were also Olympians. Coincidence? I think not! Run Cross Country!

And here is our earlier four weeks of training suggestions:

Before You Begin:

1. Get your gear in order.

If possible, you should have two pairs of good training shoes so you can rotate them. Most training shoes last for 8-10 weeks, depending on your training. Take your time at your local running store when selecting shoes and remember to go at the end of the day as your feet swell during the day. Bring a clean pair of socks and be prepared to check out 5-7 different shoes to find the right one for you. Assess your stash of socks, shorts, tops.

2. Hydrate yourself.

Eight to 10 glasses of water a day plus sports drinks and juice are a good start. Minimize the amount of coffee, tea, and carbonated soda you drink.

3. Fuel your engine with the right food.

Get the proper amounts and types of food into your system. Fruits, vegetables, whole grains, pasta, and modest amounts of fish, chicken, and beef make sense. For snacks, try apple slices spread with peanut butter. Nuts are also good. Pizza, tacos, and fast food places are fine as infrequent treats.

4. Sleep!

I know that at 17 or 18 you can text all night or check out the newest game on Xbox, but itwillaffect your training. Get 8-10 hours of sleep and, if you can, try for a nap (yes, a nap) on a few afternoons.

5. Establish your training group.

Though some people prefer to train alone, a group helps with the hard days and long runs. Figure out what works for you and your training style.

6. Inspiration.

Find some good books that support your running goals. Some classics include Once a Runner, The Irishman Who Ran for Britain, The Lonely Breed, A Cold, Clear Day, and Self-Made Olympian. Music can also be a great motivator. Find great additions to your playlist by talking to your friends and searching online, plus we’ll post the Shoe Addicts’ running music lists. We don’t recommend running with earbuds or headphones, however, since they compromise your awareness and possibly your safety. They can also mess with your ability to “tune into” the pace you’re running, which is essential come race time.

7. Set your goals.

Do you want to make the top 7? Improve your times at your league and section meets? Race better over the second half of the course? Think about these things now, write them down and prop them in your room where you can read them each day. It will help you stay on track.

8. Calculate your workout amounts.

To run 300 miles over 12 weeks, for example, you’ll need to average 25 miles a week, which is very good for freshmen and sophomores. To reach 400 miles over the summer, you need to average 34 miles a week, and to reach 500 miles, it takes a weekly average of 40 miles. The default numbers noted in the daily workouts (miles, reps, minutes) are for those accepting the 500 Mile Challenge. Numbers for those in the 400 Mile and 300 Mile Challenges appear in parentheses that follow. If there’s only one number/amount, it’s for all runners.

9. Questions?

Here is a rehash of our first two weeks:

Weeks 1&2: Summer Training Begins

You’ll start on the road to a good summer of training with a long run, a tempo run, and some moderately paced runs. Don’t worry about pace in these first two weeks; just get out there, have some fun, and get into the habit of regular running. Workouts always begin with a warmup, some gentle stretching of major muscle groups, and light jogging. Repeat for your cool-down.

Monday: Warm up; 5 miles easy running (400 Mile: 4 miles/300 Mile: 3 miles); cool down.

Tuesday: 1-mile warmup; 20-min tempo run; 1-mile cool-down. To determine your tempo run pace, add a half-minute to your present mile pace for a 5K. For example: If you currently run 19 min for a 5K, that’s 6:10 pace. Add 30 seconds to get your tempo run pace of 6:40 per mile. Recalculate your pace as your fitness improves, about once a month.

Wednesday: Warm up; 5 miles easy running (400 Mile: 3 miles/300 Mile: 3 miles); cool down.

Thursday: 1-mile warmup; 2 hill repeats (run 200 yds uphill, turn, jog downhill to start; repeat once with no rest); 1-mile easy cool-down.

Week 3: Getting the Habit Started

Make sure you’re doing your runs on a variety of surfaces–dirt, grassy fields, sand, road, track. It’s good for the feet and helps you use your feet in a healthy variety of ways.

Wednesday: Warm up; 5 miles easy running (400 Mile: 3 miles/300 Mile: 3 miles); 2×150 yds relaxed strideouts on grass, jogging back to the start after each, no rest in between; cool-down.

Week 4: Training Gets Rolling

Nicely done @d9monti !

David Monti @d9monti

Was just at the bank & only 2 tellers were working. The man behind me was double-parked and getting really agitated about waiting. When it was my turn I let the man go ahead of me. His mood ...changed on a dime; he kept thanking me

Moments later the teller waived my transaction fee

KENYA MY MOTHERLAND!!
As we go to exercise our democratic rights tomorrow as Kenyans lets do it in peace and remember that elections come and go.
Remember Your vote is precious. It is the most ...powerful non-violent tool we have in a democratic society, and you have to use it.
