Well, cross-country is all about long runs. If you have a background of distance running then you should be able to do at least 30+ and max out at 50/55 miles per week. This is only if you ran long distance before. Otherwise you should start at 10 MPW and max out at 30/40 MPW. All your runs should be at normal pace, with one run being at tempo pace. Also make sure you take rest days at least once a week, as over working yourself can lead to injuries. Good luck, and stay injury-free.
