Summer Training Plans
Unsure what to run over the Summer to prepare for Cross Country season? Coach Mike has devised a beginner, intermediate and advanced training plan to help you train this Summer.
These plans are meant for runners that have no guidance for Summer training. They are not meant to be used instead of plans supplied by your coach. Your coach knows you and the training of their programs the best. Please follow what coach has planned for your Summer training.
