Summer Training

If you want to run your absolute best in the upcoming cross country running season, laying down a conditioning base by doing summer mileage is essential. Without it you will not run anywhere near your full potential in your fall cross country races and your chances of injury are greatly increased. Your racing peak is greatly determined by the depth of the fitness foundation you develop over the summer. Having aerobic fitness enables you to maintain your race pace over the cross country course, and still have enough left to finish fast. 

Running a solid summer mileage has dozens of physiological benefits including developing your maximal oxygen uptake (your ability to take in and process oxygen), improving your cardiac output efficiency (your heart’s ability to deliver and adequate blood supply to your running muscles), and greatly enhancing your muscle’s ability to process oxygen and store and utilize glycogen for fuel.
