Spread the stress over the week

Balance the stress/rest cycle. Over training and under recovery is the #1 problem in high school cross country.
The best workouts of the season need to be in the last 4 weeks of the season. This is still ramp up time (general conditioning) Not burn out time. It is not about maximal training it is about optimal training. Spread the stress over the whole week. Feel good about the training you did over the whole week not just one race or one workout.
