Build a base you can see

Summer for an XC runner usually means consistent running, hill strength, some basic speed, mobility, and enough strength work that the harder season sessions don't break you.

Oli uses your first practice, first race and season-end date to keep base training aimed at a real season. If your racing isn't tied to a school calendar, Go is the better fit.

Make your progression visible

A good base plan explains why the mileage, hills, strides, recovery and strength sessions sit where they do. You see the next step as well as the list of runs.

We don't promise a specific time drop. You get clearer planning, generated workouts that are replaced when they go stale, and decisions that account for readiness when your training stress changes.

Mileage needs recovery and team context.

A trail and summary-card view keeps summer base mileage connected to readiness, terrain, and group rhythm.

Keep coach summaries high level

For teams, completion windows and upcoming workload show a coach who's taking part. Exact routes and raw health streams stay out of it.

Our coach page explains the consultation path for schools and clubs that want roster setup, team licensing and clear privacy expectations before inviting athletes.
