Running is always good. XC bike is Better and weights helps too. I would say XC bike 3 times a week weights 2 times a week.

kk here goes i dont train in the summer as im racing most of it so its liikes training but in the weeks inbetween races in the summer i still go out every wednesday with my local xc club then other days i go to our dirt jumps and dig ma ass off.
in the winter months i build sections of my cross country track it is currently about 2 hours long it is really fun makin your own xc track because you can link all of your favourite spots up and make ur spots even better. i go out my xc bike every 2 days i only go out for about 2 hours which isnt very long but i cover a large distance, at the start of the ride i sprint up this really steep hill 3 or 4 times lyk propper sprinting no brake just up down up down. then go on the rest of the ride whilse im riding if i have any uphill sections i sprint them all no matter how tired or how big they r just grit my teeth and get up as fast as i can(pretend ur being chased by a big gang of murderers of wolves then u go faster) then i obv sprint on the downhills so it is a very hard sprint ride. on the nights inbetween xc i do weights and sit ups or pull ups.(weights are cheap from argos) when it is raining i go to my local gym and do cardiovascular work and excersises that require a lot a hard breathing.
i dont do weights in the gym because its a waste of time as i have some at home.

another few very small tips are:
-brush your teeth with a manuel brush trust me it works for your armpump
-buy a powerball these work great for arm pump and are quite fun
-dont overwork yourself
- dont train the day after a race
-dont train the day before the race
- in the winter i hardly ever go out thats when i dont give a shit when people complain cause im never coming out winter is for training see ur m8s in the summer when its dry and sunny.

If you're getting armpump brushing your teeth you must have one hell of a toothbrush. (or really thin arms).
