What kind of training do you recommend i should do to train for my up coming first time cross country season?

I was just wandering like if i should run so much a day and i should be on a certain diet i play basketball in the fall and softball in the spring and summer is for cross country so its like i am not completely out of shape i would just like to know like how many miles i should be able to run and stuff.

Is cross country good training for track?

I have been running track for two years now, and I am a sprinter/jumper. I was thinking of joining the school’s cross country team in order to run when there is no track (fall). Would this be good training for track? Or should I just do my own workouts to prepare (I run winter, spring, and summer track).

What is a good training plan for cross country?

I’m going to be running cross country next this fall for my school. I really enjoy running but I have not ran competitively. I’m really excited to start! I need a training plan for this spring and summer to prepare! Any ideas, plans, or routines would be great!

Thanks!
