High School Cross Country Updates

Suggested Summer Work Outs

Freshman 20-25 Miles per week

Sophomores 25 - 30 Miles per week

Juniors 40-55 Miles per week

Seniors 40-55 Miles per week



This mileage should be done at a pace you are comfortable with. The distance will vary based on your personal ability. When possible, run with someone else or a group of people, you are more likely to stay motivated and finish your workout. BE CONSISTENT, run 5-6 days per week. You may want to do 2 workouts on some days; one in the morning, one in the evening. This will help you reach your weekly mileage goal.


Places you can run: Sugarcreek Reserve (Hills & Shaded), Around your neighborhood, Bike Way, HS Track for 200's, 400's, etc., Road Races, beach (if on vacation)

Remember to drink plenty of fluids (water, Gatorade, NO POP) and eat smart (fruits, vegetables, etc)
