Chi Cheng has put in considerable efforts to change the status of athletics from being a pastime suitable for festivals and holidays, to being an organized affair complete with its own seasons. Under her plan, athletes will train continuously for the four months from March to early July, during which period there will be a succession of track and field competitions.
為使選手訓練銜接，紀政提倡十一月至次年二月間，定為冬季訓練期，增添七次冬季越野賽跑。同時，舉辦越野賽期間，分七個不同地點進行，使全國各地喜愛長跑運動的人都有機會參加。
