Answer by  Marsha (2337)

You need to lift weights with your legs during theoff season. You need to run every day but vary the distance. Run 10 miles about twice a week, about 3 - 4 miles the other days of the week. Take one day off each week. Do not smoke cigarettes or drink alcohol.

The key factor is training your heart and lungs on a schedule just like you would train any other muscle group. The common wisdom is to train at most every other day, with a resting day between training days. Then stick to that schedule. During events, find your pace, the rhythm at which your body is expending the least effort.
