Build a culture of running

All good programs do this.

I’m not the person to ask, but at the social

tonight, you should ask about this before you

start talking workouts.

If they are weak, make them strong

Muscular strength is important, not only for fast running but for injury prevention.

I’ve seen the Strake Jesuit boys handle almost all of the General Strength (GS) we teach at the Boulder Running Camps.

Teach them to run by feel.

Page 13: Elements High School Distance Running

Fartlek runs are the best way to teach this.

You want them to crash and burn a couple of times.

Page 14: Elements High School Distance Running

Long Runs - Need to do, not Nice to doBuild the duration of these runs slowly over the season and over a career.

The runs should become progression long runs fairly early in the season, even if the length of the run isn’t that great.

Posture is important - if they can’t maintain posture throughout the run then shorten the run.

Page 15: Elements High School Distance Running
Page 16: Elements High School Distance Running

Athletes must run with good posture

Know what good posture looks like.

Strengthen the posterior chain.

Lots of General Strength and Mobility (GSM).

Active Isolated Flexibility (AIF) - “Rope Stretching.”

Body Lean is 1-2º forward; don’t lean over hips.

Specificity is key if you want athletes to race to their potential.

Page 18: Elements High School Distance Running

What is goal race pace for a 5k? Are you doing that?

In a tactical 1,600m or 3,200m, what do they have to close in?

Page 19: Elements High School Distance Running

Specificity:

Practice what you want them to do in a race.
