School training programs2/2/2023 One long run a week (Saturday), similar to those I prescribe for marathoners, has as its purpose improving aerobic fitness and endurance. (For descriptions of those workouts, check below.) The purpose of these workouts is to develop leg strength and speed, but also pace awareness. Three of the seven days in the week (Monday, Tuesday, Thursday) feature some form of speedwork, either fartlek, interval training or tempo runs. Like most of my training programs for road race distances from the 5K through the marathon, this Summer Cross Country Training Program follows the hard/easy approach pioneered by legendary University of Oregon coach, Bill Bowerman. It provides ten weeks of training, enough to bridge that period between the end of the school year and the beginning of the racing season. This Cross Country Training Program is designed for high school runners to use during the summer, but also for coaches looking for a well-organized schedule that they can modify for their own purposes.
