This is the first day of our 21-week RunBlogRun Fall cross-country Training & Racing Program. Follow this program, and we will help you excel in fall cross country! We have done digital programs since 1998, via American Track & Field and since 2006 on RunBlogRun!
Today is Monday, August 29, 2022. It is Week 1, Day 1 of the RunBlogRun Fall Cross Country Training & Racing Program. It will take you through the USATF Junior Nationals, FootLocker Cross Country, all state meets, and past the NCAA and US Club Championships.
We work on a seven-day weekly plan, with a long run, tempo run, hill day, and race or speed day. Three recovery days, and those are a must. To build your mortal engine, you must have recovery, eat well, hydrate well and sleep well.
Today’s workout is warm-up, 45 minutes-50 minutes of conversational pace running, and then six times 150-meter stride outs, then a good cooldown.
