Workouts for middle distance runners?

Home More advice Sports & Activities

Ok so I am running the 400m and probably the 800m in track this spring. I ran cross country so I am used to the endurance part. I need to get some speed though for these two events. I have been working out trying to build up some muscle. I was just wondering what type of mileage I should be running. Before in cross country I was running about 30 miles a week. Now that I am working out it is harder to run that type of mileage. So I was wondering if I should back off the weights and up my mileage or keep on the weights?
