Mountain Bike Workout Routine
Anyone with cross country experience that could help me plan a workout routine with these details:?
I’m 15 years old, (5’10″, 120 pounds…if that helps). My mile time is usually 6 min or less. And I’ve been running 3 miles around the track every other day. I’m new to cross country so I don’t know what I should be doing everyday to start off. Here are some questions I have:
1. How many miles should I run each day? (different amounts?)
2. Where should I run if there aren’t any hills or mountains or anything? (just streets and a park)
3. How fast should I be running? (minutes/mile)
4. Are there any other things I can do do improve my time? (biking, swimming, other exercise, etc). If so, how much?
I’d really appreciate it if you could give some specifics for all of these things. Please answer only if you give me an answer that has produced results from you or others. Thank you.
Also if you feel comfortable giving your e-mail to me, that might help me out too.
One more question: Should I run every day or every other day?
1. 3 to 5 miles is usually good.
2. the streets and park are also good, but push yourself more to condition correctly.
3. 6 or less for a mile is realllly good.
4. make sure you always stretch and there are exercises that are like, really high skips, running and kicking your butt, running with your knees reallly high… just make sure to only do those for a somewhat short distance.
