Run strong to go long.
A fast runner can be fast at all distances. But a runner who just runs long,
slow distance is only going to be able to run long, slowly.
I've always felt that "running strong to go long" was a valid approach to
training; a recent trip to Copper Canyon in Mexico reinforced my conviction. > Read the full story Not only did I have the chance to run with and be humbled by some very
talented Tarahumara Indian runners, I got to see how the youngsters train:
they play the same running games as their elders, only over 10 kilometers,
rather than 100 kilometers, or more. As they mature, they take the strength,
economy, efficiency and power they've developed and simply run longer ...
Very fast. > See the slide show
Of course endurance is important, but so too are strength, economy,
efficiency, and power. First things first: hills and speedwork, with a focus
on rapid footstrike and core conditioning provides the base upon which
endurance can best be built; my approach develops biomechanical efficiency
first to carry you through longer runs with less effort, wear and tear.
By developing run-specific strength and power, you will improve your maximum
speed and, in effect, create a "new speed" at which you can run as your
"raw" ability actually improves. |

My pledge and goal is to help you improve by providing the tools that will make you better—faster than you ever thought possible. I can help you cultivate speed, endurance, power and strength. All you need to supply is the intrinsic desire and drive to improve—the motivation to compete at a higher level.
