Question:

Track season, should i start training now? How to train for the mile?

I had just finished a great cross country season. I asked my coach what I should do off season before track. He told me absolutely nothing, to take a break. I have taken two weeks off training now and I feel completely out of shape. My first track meet will be in 19 days. Should i start training alone even though he told me not to? I want to be GOOD this year. I want to improve my mile time. I want to WIN. What should I do for training?

If u did good in cross country(getting average of 18 minutes on your 5K), you should practice by doing 3 miles for practice and sometimes 1.5
