Re: Thank you!
Yes they will be running at Marquette (their older sister went there). They both played football frosh/soph year before I finally convinced them to do cross as juniors. Alec has always been ahead of the curve (1:56 as a frosh/ 4:28 - obvious aerobic development needed, then 1:56/4:19, 1:52/4:14/9:...

Thank you!
I've been a coach for the past 7 years at the high school level. Initially, I started using the Daniels approach, and had some success - guys PR'd, got better, etc. Four years ago, I got a pair of talented twins and have been doing research ever since on how to help them get better. I have stuck ...

Re: Flotrack WOW at Wisconsin
I've got a couple runners being recruited by Mick, so I took special interest in this video. It should be noted that this was done at the end of August during their yearly camp in Door County, so take that with a grain of salt. For a lot of those guys, the tempo is probably slower than tinman temp...

Re: Running Times Training Article
So Stillwater has 3 guys that have run under 9:07 for 3200 this year... including a frosh that went 8:58 today at the state meet. And a 1:54 guy. Their team is insane, but they are completely dedicated to the program.

Re: Thoughts about doing small amounts of max speed before easy distance
Runthe8, sounds likes you're reading up on Stillwater HS(Coach Christensen)'s training. It's hard to argue with the results he's had. I've added a few elements of his training to my guys, but I'm mainly focusing on aerobic development with them. Most of my guys are multi-sport athletes so for the...

Re: Running Times Training Article
So I finally dug up the slides (sorry, busy with meets, practice, work, and anniversary this weekend!). Here's the 9 day cycle that Coach Christensen uses for his 3200-5000 meter guys. He doesn't include speed endurance. Day 1 - VO2 max workout (Date Pace) Day 2 - Hills/Speed (Max Effort) Day 3 -...

Re: Running Times Training Article
And his training isn't 400's until you puke either. He focuses on speed with proper rest. Here's his 12 day cycle for his 800/1600 guys: Day 1 - VO2 Max workout Day 2 - Hills Day 3 - Long Run Day 4 - Special Endurance 1 Day 5 - Recovery Run Day 6 - Race Day 7 - Special Endurance 2 Day 8 - Tempo Ru...

Re: Running Times Training Article
I had the chance to listen to Scott Christensen talk this spring at the Wisconsin Track Coaches Clinic. Very very knowledgable and bases all of his training on science. Used to use more of a Lydiard approach until he decided to become a level 3 track coach and learned sprints. He then took some o...

Re: Workouts for beginners and/or untalented HS runners
I happen to be an assistant coach for the Cross team at our school in Wisconsin, but am the distance coach for the track team. We've gotten up to 47 kids on our team last year (Cross). The head coach likes his intervals, but when we break them up into groups, we might have 6 or 7 different groups ...
