Somebody just lay it out. |
| what really happens |
| ||
|
80 minute run Sunday 60 on tuesday 60 on thursday on monday, wednesday and friday you have your workouts which consist of sandusky chasing you around the track. the slowest guy in the workout.... well he is just a little more sore the following day |
| laying it on thick |

|
1) train hard & get really fit to run fast at indoor meets in Jan. (this will garner numerous letsrun fanboy threads). 2) flame out later in the spring/summer when it matters most 3) repeat |
| your answer |
| ||
|
1. Fall down. 2. Get dq 3. Try to blame everyone else for it. |
| Dress for success |

As usual, haters gonna hate. Must suck to be D3. |
| Do the math... |

Haters can hate... But stats don't lie. True account. |

Yeah your right, Loxsom running 1:45 consistently throughout the summer is blowing up and peeking too early. Definitely. |

I do not think it is fair to say they flame out come outdoors. Cas ran outstanding after his freshman year all the way into july(world jr's). I know from looking at the results that they do have a few guys that struggle outdoors after monster indoors. But that could be a number of factors and if someone told me I could run 2:19.x for the 1000 and maybe struggle outdoors alittle bit. I'd take that |

Lets not forget the qualifying process for NCAA's - indoors you have to run one of the top 16 times in the country to make it - so you better be ready to go during the indoor season if you want to make it. Outdoors you just have to run one of the top 48 times in your region, then it is head to head. PSU's top guys have made it to both indoor nationals and outdoor finals the last few years. Loxsom ran 1:45 three times in June, Foster ran 3:39 at the end of June. Dawson ran an outdoor PR of 1:48 in his last race last spring while red-shirting. Doesn't sound like a flame out to me. |

So no one can just give some insight? Like how does cas train different than the dawsons and foster, etc? Come on PSU guys I know you read this |

The key to the PSU MD success is to recruit 1:18 600/1:49 800 guys like Loxsom and 1:49 high school guys like Foster. Any DIII coach would get similar results from working with guys like this. D1 is all about recruiting. You are looking in the wrong place if you are trying to find MD training secrets here. |

Okay... Pretty sure both Foster and Loxom were 1:51 guys in high school. Also, Creese was 1:54 in high school. He pred by two or three seconds and then ran a 27-28 final 200. I saw him do it. It was amazing. Foster ran about 2;24/2:25. He hit the wall after leading through 800... Explain those results. How does Creese go from 1:54 to 1:51-1:52 as a SPLIT? |

You either hit your splits in training or you get sent to Sandusky's place. |

You guys are way off base with the Sandusky jokes. 17 or 18 year-old freshmen are way too old for Jerry. |

He ran 4:10 his junior year, and just split 1:52 in a 1000m. Realistically he had the ability to run around 1:50 last spring, but never got the opportunity. Still a great race though. Penn State seems to really focus on mid distance. If you put a lot of resources into a specific event in college, there will be great results. Look at XC at Wisconsin, Jumps at Florida, or the 400 at Baylor. Penn States training is going to be very similar to any other mid distance training, they just have the athletes and training group to get top times. |

Oh get out of here. I ran with a 4:12 high school miler and he ran the 800 multiple times and never ran faster than 1:55. My state has a 4:10-4:15 guy every year, but only a 1:50 800m runner a few times a decade. A 4:10 does not equal 1:50. Admit it, Creese improved. A lot. |

I don't argue he has improved a lot and the PSU coaches clearly know what they have been doing looking at Foster, Loxsom, Dawson... Creese did run a 152.5 split at NBIN last year in the 1600 SMR, and the 1:54 is from his junior year. He got sick during his senior year outdoor and probably did not perform up to his potential. http://www.nationalscholastic.org/indoornats/result/971/ http://www.usatf.org/events/2010/USAYouthOutdoorTFChampionships/results/F553.asp |
