I'm in base phase xc and trying to really get every part of running/what could affect my training perfected. That means that for me I don't just have peak mileage, I have peak weeks. It will make sense in a bit, and I haven't figured out if peak weeks should be the same weeks as high mileage,
but a peak week would be a high mileage week (like I said, don't know if it's gonna be close peak mileage to or peak mileage but it would be on higher side, hence "peak week") + all of the things that could help me get better, crosstraining, working on my form, lifting, core. Anyway, in a weekly schedule, for one of these peak weeks, would this be too much? WHAT CAN I ADD/CUT? Please tell me anything you think, it's kinda long but help is appreciated
(for reference, easy pace is 7:45-8)
Monday:
7AM: 8 mile easy/long run -team
Shortly After: Weights w/team (let's say legs)
Afternoon: 1 hour of swimming workouts + short core, stretching
Tuesday:
7AM: 5-6 mile easy run -team
Shortly after: 30-45 mins of targeted form drills
Afternoon: 5 mile steady state run 7:45-6:30
Wednesday:
7AM: 7-10 mile long run, not easy, not progressive (7:00-7:25?) -team
Shortly After: Weights w/team (let's say upper body)
Afternoon: Light bike or swim session
Shortly After: 15 mins of targeted form drills/15 core/15 stretching/15 running in place w/ weights
Thursday:
AM: 2 mile warmup, 4 mile tempo (can't predict pace yet)
Shortly After: Short Stretch
Afternoon: 4 very easy recovery miles
Friday:
7AM: 8-10 mile long run not too easy, but not too pushing (7:30-7:45) -team
Shortly After: Short Stretch
Afternoon: Swimming or Bike Ride
Saturday:
7AM: 4-5 mile easy -team
Shortly After: Full body cycle, weights by myself
Afternoon: 4-5 miles easy
Shortly After: Form work/Core
Sunday:
AM: 7-9 mile progressive run (8:00-6:00) (idk if I can predict)
Shortly After: Stretch
Afternoon: Optional small cross training session
background: really want to run in college but ran low 18's last year as soph, love this sport. Hoping to make a jump to sub 17 at the start of this season. I think I can handle this mileage well because I ran 35-40 and felt really easy+junior year is super important so I think I'm willing to risk injury.
60-65 range
1 tempo, 1 steady state, 1 progressive, rest are long and easy
3-4 Cross training sessions
3 weight sessions
A lot of stretch/core/form sessions
I'm just wondering if this seems reasonable, I think I will have the time, I'm worried about if the cross training could affect the quality of the runs, should I cut down mileage some, maybe I'm doing form work too much... idk?
