I need a coach!!!! // 800m

Give us detailed background of your training. Mileage, paces, workouts, weightlifting? periodization, etc.

I am a high school coach that runs an 800/1600 group all year. I'd be happy to help you out at no charge. They only coach worth paying is one you can train with in person, so please don't pay anybody! Email me if you'd like to be in touch and I can share some resources with you.

Thanks for the reply

Currently I'm having 2 weeks off as it's the end of the season (I'm from the UK).

In the summer when racing I would do really low mileage. A weekly plan would be:

M- Easy run + gym

T- Track session (more enduranced based)

W- Easy run

T- Track session (more speed based)

F- Rest of very easy run

S- alternate between grass reps, hill sprints, tempo runs etc.

S- long run (normally my longest run I do throughout the year is 1hour 20)

To add, most easy runs are followed by strides or hill sprints.

In the gym I follow a book by James Radciffe (head of strength and conditioning at oregon)

The book is all about training functually.

So wrong! I have coached up to 100 runners in 2 years time online. Have never met any of them in real life. All have improved and some of them just in 2-3 months. It`s of more importance to know the right stuff to do when it comes to paces and so on, than see the runner do it in real life.

Dear Sir:

You are very well know joke on these boards and are constantly posting inconsistent claims of what you have achieved. I'm glad you can read Daniel's or some other coaches pace charts, but that does not merit you taking people's money. Its sad that you troll around on boards finding naive teenagers to bilk lunch money from, but do what you do homie!

Oh I didn't know it was a scammer!!!

I have emailed you by the way teacher!

Don't hesitate to ask any questions/ share information :)

Hehe! I`m not a scammer. And my "little braindamage" tells me the OP is not what he first seem to be. Age 15 and looking for a coach here on LRC when it should be easy to find a good one in his hometown in UK. But it was some entertainment for a little while. lol Cheers! :)

Only marking my words on what others are saying.

Actually at my athletics club there are only sprint coaches there and not enduranced ones :)

It`s sad people like you think that I would charge teenagers for my coaching skills. If I would charge a teenager it must be by the parents agreement and nothing else.The other thing you say about how easy it is to just read Daniels or some other coaches pace charts to become a good coach shows that you really are not the right person for the job as a coach . If you had been a good coach you should have known that great coaching is an art that have a need for experience and an extra sense that is hard to define.Great coaching is of course not only to be able to read a pace chart. ;)

F%%% the unnecessary and defeatist complexity! Here's the solution, courtest of COACH TIMMONS. If you don't know who he is, then you have no biz being here on LR.

40 x 400. Arranged, 10 reps, 2 mins recovery, 15 mins break, 10 reps, 3 mins recovery, 20 mins break, 10 reps, 5 mins recovery, 30 mins break, 10 reps all out.

Please tell me this is not serious.
