Episode 62: Our Worst Coaching Blunders in Coaching Middle Distance




Magness & Marcus on Coaching show

Summary: <br> In this episode, Jon and I delve into our coaching blunders with middle distance athletes. What mistakes did we make early on and what have we learned from them? Topics covered in this episode include<br> <br> * We dive into the misconceptions on speed and power development.<br> * How we both messed up plyos when we first introduced them.<br> * Why throwing “speed and fast stuff” at your miler is a typical panic move and doesn’t work.<br> * Why we shouldn’t just “check the box” in training components.<br> * How your world view (speed vs. endurance) tends to shape your training model and why we need to be cognizent of the other side.<br> * The more models you have, the more options you have to apply them.<br> <br> Thanks for listening, for more  thoughts on coaching, follow us on social media:<br> <a href="http://www.highperformancewest.com/">High-Performance West</a><br> Steve: <a href="http://twitter.com/stevemagness">Twitter,</a> <a href="http://instagram.com/stevemagness/">Instagram </a>and <a href="https://www.youtube.com/stevemagness">Youtube</a><br> Jon: <a href="http://twitter.com/jmarpdx/">Twitter</a> and <a href="https://www.instagram.com/highperformancewest/">Instagram</a><br> Other Resources Mentioned:<br> <a href="https://twitter.com/Dr_Weyand">Dr. Peter Weyand </a><br> <a href="http://www.ustfccca.org/assets/symposiums/2014/Endurance-Spangler-2014.pdf">Paul Spangler Presentation- Power and Its Importance in Running</a><br> <a href="http://amzn.to/2DgAAqM">Frank Horwill’s Training</a><br> <a href="https://t.co/a6LJReXjBY">Speed Reserve work by Gareth Sandford </a><br> <a href="https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000VE0B2M/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&amp;tag=onanofthtr-20&amp;camp=1789&amp;creative=9325&amp;linkCode=as2&amp;creativeASIN=B000VE0B2M&amp;linkId=0df79666c78b6f216d9a74d805a7a580">Roger Bannister and Franz Stampfl’s 400m repeats</a><br> Subscribe and Listen on:<br><br> <br> <a href="https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/magness-marcus-on-coaching/id961516002"> iTunes</a><br> <a href="http://www.stitcher.com/s?fid=63029&amp;refid=stpr">Stitcher</a><br> <a href="https://feedburner.google.com/fb/a/mailverify?uri=scienceofrunning/MMpodcast">via E-mail</a><br> <a href="https://www.youtube.com/stevemagness">Youtube</a><br>
