Long runs are soul food for distance runners. Besides increasing the efficiency of your circulation, making you a more powerful mortal engine, long runs are great times to contemplate current life challenges. I enjoyed running long with friends, but also treasured the solitude of the long runs in the various seasons; from the changing of leaves in the fall, to the quiet cold of the winter, to the rain of the spring, and of course, heat of the summer.

2023 RunBlogRun Fall Cross Country Training & Racing, Week Two, Day 2, Tempo is back!

Just saw a state meet, I believe in South Dakota, won by an eighth grade girl! The quality and size of cross country continues to grow across the country! Good luck to all in invitationals, regionals and state meets coming up.

Just remember, consider adding the Postal 2 mile to the end of your season! Check out the attraction of postals at www.hokaoneonepostalnationals.com.

Week 9: Getting in the Groove

How did your race go last week? Are you starting to see some differences in your fitness level? This week, focus on the tempo run and the hill workout. Remember to drink lots of liquids (water, sports drinks, juices, green tea), eat well, and have a good snack after long workouts, like 2% chocolate milk and a PowerBar. Also, if you’re a college athlete, increase your morning runs to 35-40 minutes on Mon-Wed-Fri.

Monday, October 17, 2016: Warm up; 6-mile run; 8×150 yds relaxed strideouts on grass, jogging back to the start after each, no rest in between; cool down.

Tuesday, October 18, 2016: 1-mile warm up; 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 18:50 min for a 5K, that’s 6:05 pace. Add 30 seconds, and your tempo run pace is 6:35 per mile. Recalculate your pace as your fitness improves, about once a month.

Or, if you race today, after your race, get your team together and do a 30 minute run where you charge a hill for 2 minutes, 8-10 times, and then, cooldown.

Wednesday, October 19, 2016: Warm up; 6-mile run; 8×150 yds relaxed strideouts on grass, jogging back to the start after each, no rest in between; cool down.

Thursday, October 20, 2016: 1-mile warmup; 7 hill repeats (run 200 yds uphill, turn, jog downhill to the start; repeat 6 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; 1-mile easy cool-down.

or, if you have a race, after the race, try a Holmer Fartlek, go out 15-18 minutes, and run hard all the way back. Cooldown.

Friday, October 21, 2016: Warm up; 6-mile run; 8×150 yds relaxed strideouts on grass, jogging back to the start after each, no rest in between; cool down.

Saturday, October 22, 2016: Race day. Warm up, listen to your coach, race, cool down.

Sunday, October 23, 2016: Easy 9-mile run on grass or dirt with friends.

Week 10: Moving to Important Racing

Your racing has gone on now for 8 weeks. Juniors and seniors: You should be able to handle the 2 or 3 easy morning runs of 30 minutes. More advanced athletes, depending on your standards, should be able to handle 3 morning runs a week, M-W-F for 30-45 minutes. Check those shoes, and we suggest getting two pair now for the season, and a racing shoe if you haven’t already gotten them. Consider HOKA ONE ONE training shoes!

Monday: Monday: Warm up; 6-mile run; 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, 1-mile cool-down. 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, and your tempo run pace is 6:30 per mile. Recalculate your pace as your fitness improves, about once a month.

Wednesday: Warm up; 6-mile run; 8×150 yds relaxed strideouts on grass, jogging back to the start after each, no rest between; cool down.

Thursday: 1-mile warmup; 7 hill repeats (run 200 yds uphill, turn, jog downhill to the start. Repeat 6 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 between; 1-mile easy cool-down.

Friday: Warm up; 6-mile run; 8×150 yds relaxed strideouts on grass, jogging back to the start after each, no rest between; cool down.

Saturday:Race day. Warm up, listen to your coach, race, cool down.

Sunday: Easy 10-mile run on grass or dirt with friends.

Week 11: 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; 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, 1-mile cool-down. 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.

Friday: Warm up; 6-mile run; 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.

Sunday: Easy 10-mile run on grass or dirt with friends. 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 12: Here Comes

Big Cross Country Season

High school cross country starts quickly, so use those early races to get into shape. Continue to build speed. 300 Mile athletes add a Saturday run.
