💪 August Cross Country Training Plan 2026

A few things to remember...

😊 Run with a friend if you can! Having someone to chat to makes the time fly by. Talk about your holidays, school, sport or anything that's on your mind—you'll be surprised how quickly the run passes when you're enjoying the conversation.

🏃 Keep it easy. These sessions are all about building fitness, not running as fast as you can.

💧 Stay hydrated. Bring water with you and remember to have a drink before and after each session.

😴 Listen to your body. If you're feeling unwell, very tired or carrying an injury, take a rest day. Recovery is an important part of training.

👏 Be proud of yourself! Every session you complete is another step towards being ready for the cross country season. Don't forget to give yourself a well-earned pat on the back after each run—you've earned it!
