The goal of this training program is to build your fitness and racing savvy for the spring season. Your fitness from cross country has helped you get stronger. Racing and the short work will make you a better racer. In college, I raced 30-35 times a season, 2 miles to 10,000m, with 3 times a year at my primary distance, the 10,000m. In high school, I raced close to 30 times a season, from 8-10 times in XC to 20-22 times in track. I always overtrained in high school. By college, I had gotten the hang of it. Most of the workouts we provide were used by high school athletes with various challenges, and by fine tuning, they succeeded. I had fine coaches in high school, some with enthusiasm than knowledge of the sport. They would learn by asking questions, and going to Coaching Clinics.
