This 12-week summer training plan is designed to get you ready for the fall cross country season. Created especially for competitive runners with experience, it features a moderately high training load that increases gradually from week to week, except in recovery weeks, which fall every fourth week. The typical week includes five to six runs, one or two cross-training sessions, and a rest day. Note that the workouts in this plan are primarily prescribed by Duration, not Distance. Therefore, the plan summary will not reflect the total miles/kilometres, but does reflect the total Duration.

Structured Workouts

This plan leverages TrainingPeaks structured workouts with Pace-based workouts, but you can obtain a Heart rate-based version of this plan in the TrainingPeaks plan store. Each workout can be exported to a supported device, which will automatically guide you through the session with duration, lap, and intensity prompts. Workouts do not have to be exported to be performed effectively, as the detailed descriptions provide all the information you need to successfully complete the workout. See our Structured Workout page for more information.
