Summer XC Training: Week 5 (July 6)

In another week we'll bump up mileage, but for now the goal is to be consistent and stay healthy. The long run should be at least 70 minutes and we'll continue to do hill repeats each week for the rest of the summer.  We can also add a couple of core strength workouts each week to the training. These workouts can be as simple as two sets of crunches,  two sets of pushups and a couple of sets of planks (front and back held for 20-30 seconds).

Sunday Long Run (70 minutes or more)

Monday 5-6 miles

Tuesday 7-8 miles with hills

Wednesday 8-9 miles

Thursday 5-6 miles w/ strength training

Friday 7-8 miles

Saturday 5-6 miles or swim/bike w/ strength training
