2019 XC - Golden State Legends (Episode 2 - Summer Training and Altitude Camp)

Building Blocks for Champions - Episode 2 of 6
Summer is the time for high mileage workouts, right? Not necessarily. One thing that Great Oak High and Newbury Park High seem to agree on is that high altitude training helps. Who gets to go? How do the team dynamics change? How long do they stay up there? Are the teams ready when the season starts?
hdRunners joins forces with an icon of California running media to explore the extraordinary 2019 cross country season in this 6-episode series.

"dreamed about earning a spot in the top 7" had no idea there were high schools with more than 7 competent runners

[@kaismithley6173]

ikr my team this year has 3 good runners, all of us are juniors too because none of the seniors have the balls or maturity to just put their head down and get in good training

[@wyatthoover8253]

My dude, at my school I'm the only person who even runs seriously, I'm the only person who can break 20, and I can run high 15's, it sucks to not have a team, you have to do everything alone, and when I hear about teams, and talk to my friends from bigger schools that have teams it just makes me sad

[@kaismithley6173]

@@wyatthoover8253 dude at this point I'm the same, last year I was number 6 varsity on a team that almost made it to state and we were all super dedicated and now it's me and edgar with a bunch of degenerates who don't wanna listen to our advice and can't even break 18 as juniors and seniors that have been running for at least 3 years

It's his motto- it has to do with the goals you set for yourself and how far you're willing to go and how far you want to go with your goals.

[@hdRunners]

If anybody out there wants to share their summer training strategies, I'd be interested in hearing about them. High mileage or repeats? How much mileage? Hills or flat?

[@alexisromero3414]

No mileage during summer 2K18 (senior szn) didn’t even plan on running that year. :) Go WRXC! :)

[@REYMARTZHD]

90+ mile weeks in the summer is the best base for a cross country runner. Once the hard speed workouts come in the season, fast times will be the end result.

[@freshappleseed6966]

1. 60-70 mpw 2.Tempo run once or twice a week 3. Easy runs in between 4. Long runs on Sunday 5. Take a down week after about every 4-5 weeks 6. Convert a tempo to mile or kilometers repeats in 2nd half of summer

[@jfareilla]

High mileage, with hills in almost every run. Nothing too major, but like the other people are saying a tempo run each week, a solid long run, and plenty of moderate/easy mileage runs is ideal. For the better runners like in this vid, I could easily see how repeats and insanely high mpw is ideal

[@ianbusche1471]

I just did 15-20 mpw with some tempo runs, just ran 16:19 which is number one in my state for Class B which is small towns compared to Class A which is big towns
