The XC Workouts That Build a Championship Engine
from Salty Talks Hosted by Coach Jason Saltmarsh
Three workouts do most of the work in a cross country season. The threshold run that builds the engine, the critical velocity session that builds 5K fatigue resistance, and the eight second hill sprints that build the chassis. How to pace all three without a lactate meter, how to fit them into a week that already has a race in it, and the four things I cut from my program to make room.
