          Heyy…
          My friend and I are long sprinters, and we decided to do XC this season to improve our endurance for the longer races. Now that we’re getting about halfway through the season, we realize we need to start working on our Speed stuff again. We are still training for XC, but what are some good workouts that we can do in addition to our XC training to prepare us for the indoor season. Here are the races we run:

          Her:
          55m, 110m hurdles, 400m hurdles, 50m, 4x200m, 4x400m, and occasionally 400m and she might try moving up to 600m

          Me:
          200m, 400m ((my favorite race)), 4x200m, 4x400m, and I want to move up to 600m-800m.

          after xc do form drills and some fast strides and you should be fine. 3 weeks of idoor and you will get your fast twitch muscles back.

          You might want to add a day of speed work (<100m @ high intensity with full recovery) about once a week to ensure you don’t lose too much speed.
