I love to see how training intensities relate. This is a theoretical lactate curve with training intensities placed on it as a way to give kids awareness of where different types of workouts fall in regard to common races paces.
As the end of the season comes near, get more pace-specific, but don't stray too far away from the basics.

XC packet essentials: Envelop, bibs, pins, box #, course map, trash bag... & you really know you're at a top quality meet if they bunch the pins in sets of 4 or give you a 2nd copy of the course map.

Conditions not ideal for a workout?
Here are three workouts I always have in my bag.
✅10-15x (1:1) @ threshold effort
✅Hills (30-90s) @ 5k-mile effort
✅ Progressive Tempo Run
Use them separately or mix them together.

For my endurance athletes: New standards for Ferritin test when diagnosing Iron deficiency.
It used to be if Ferritin was over 15 ng/mL, you were considered "normal."
Now:
For most adults: 30 is the new threshold.
For high-risk groups, it's 50.

It’s a shame there’s no world cross in 2027 - trained up this would be a dream team with a .35 1-5 gap

The longer I coach, the more I realize that the secret to being a great coach isn't designing cutting edge training, it's the ability to repeatedly and consistently avoid doing dumb stuff.

What's the best predictor of world-class performance in runners?
Volume of Training.
You've got to spend a lot of time doing the thing if you want to get good at just about anything.

Thanks so much for the kind words! And for having me on!
Alright... I am going to get Eric Dettman's webinar- Elite Doesn't Mean Different: Training the Superstar Athlete uploaded later today.
I will tell you, I felt like I was getting all of the "secrets" to one of the top programs in the country as I watched along last night.
There were a couple of concepts that Coach Dettman uses that I can implement for the better TODAY.
