Summer XC Training: Week 7 (July 20)

The temperatures will warm up again this week, so we'll have to do our best to deal with the hot and humid weather. Please stay hydrated and try to time your runs to best avoid being out in the sun at mid-day. If our bodies can acclimate to the heat, then we can think of running in the dog days of summer as our Ozark's version of altitude training.

We are at that point of the summer and off-season training where there shouldn't be any other activities that interfere with daily running. That means no races or speed work for now. Save it for cross country. If you have injuries that prevent you from doing the training please let me know and we'll involve the athletic trainers/doctor.

Sunday Long Run (10-13 miles)

Monday 6-8 miles

Tuesday 7-9 miles with hill repeats (6 x 150m)

Wednesday 8-10 miles

Thursday 6-8 miles w/ strength training

Friday 8-9 miles

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