2019 Boulder Running Clinics - Timo Mostert, Paul Vandersteen, Dave Frank, Robert Gary

I had the pleasure of attending the 2018 Clinic in Boulder CO. It was such a positive experience- each presenter was unique in background but all successful at a national level

Each coach gave a context of what they value in their respective programs. Training, coaching philosophy, team dynamic concepts, etc were some of these items. I enjoyed that it wasn’t solely training in each presentation.

I had a ton of takeaways from the clinic to improve the culture of the program I coach. Each speaker reinforced value of culture as a means to improve your team & discussed examples of how they’ve used that as a guide to success.

I was surprised at how transparent each Coach was during their presentations- discussing workout, methods they’ve used to improve, and items that may have been challenges early in their career. No secrets for sure. Additionally each presenter was down to Earth & happy to help attendees improve.

I can’t wait to attend the 2019 Coaching Clinic im Boulder- lineup looks fantastic!

I have been coaching for 31 years and have been to dozens of clinics. This was the best clinic I have ever attended. I immediately implemented what I learned. I cannot say enough good things about it. I am really looking forward to presenting and learning from my colleagues. Also, I have been running since I was 9 years old (I am now 55). I ran two, eight mile runs while there, and they both rank in the top 10 of all runs I have ever done. Boulder is a special place.

Two testimonials from coaches who attended the 2018 clinic

I traveled from California to the clinic last year, and it did not disappoint. The speakers were great, but beyond that, the atmosphere allows you to learn from many different sources. It's easily worth the price, and I highly recommend it.

I can't say enough about the 2018 HS Coaching Clinic I attended last winter. I learned ton, and it recharged my coaching batteries. Kinda felt a like a XC/TF retreat plus a clinic. I left the clinic feeling so positive about the presenters, and enthused to speak to my coaching assistants about what I learned. The main takeaway for me was the value of creating and maintaining a positive culture to improve as a team. Sure, I valued that prior to the clinic, but the passion each coach presenter demonstrated in regards to their athletes and culture of their program was tremendous. Workouts were discussed for sure, but the power of culture really resonated with me.

Additionally, the Q&A sessions for each presenter, as well the group Q&A helped me understand some of the nuances of each program, coaching philosophy, and training theory from the day's sessions. The coach's social- aka Clinic after the Clinic- was a nice touch to the end the event as the presenters and attendees were accessible and it was a relaxed setting to discuss, process, and share coaching ideas and the experience as a whole. Interesting side note- some of the attendees are well-accomplished coaches that were open to share and talk all things Cross Country and Track & Field.

Timo Mostert? Don't you mean scuffed Steve Carell?

I attended last year as well and really enjoyed it. I flew out from Kansas City and attended with a friend from California. We both loved the clinic and like others have said found it to be incredibly informative but also very fun. I really enjoyed meeting and chatting with so many of the other coaches present. I highly recommend this event.

Two more testimonials.

This clinic changed how I approach training. Just to hear some of the things these coaches are doing allowed me to see the things that were holding our program back. We have added so many new drills and workouts, eliminating many things along the way. We used to be plagued with injuries, shin splints, aches, etc, and since we have changed our program using the things learned at the clinic, we have had zero injuries. Zero injuries in a year. This clinic is hands down worth every penny.

I’ve been coaching for 7 years and been a subscriber to High School Running Coach from the beginning. It has made a huge impact on my coaching and I find myself like a kid under the Christmas tree every time there is new material that comes out. The Boulder Running Clinics last January was amazing. There is something about the authenticity of the material given. It comes from real people and just makes sense. Thank you for all that you do for us high school coaches and making another clinic available!

Excited to have Chris Lear joining us at the clinic. I'm curious to hear what he'll have to say after hearing the presentations and interacting with some of the nation's best coaches.

I have all of the slides for the presentation - book of slides and handouts will be well over 150 pages - and I'm excited to hear these coaches present.

$147 per coach or $250 for two coaches ($44 savings). Teams — $250 for two coaches and $125 for each additional coach. Same prices as the 2018 clinic.

Attendees receive streaming video and audio of each presentation, delivered three weeks after the clinic, the book mentioned above and lunch on the 19th (the dining hall is fantastic - crazy how colleges are in an arms race to have the best food).

Here are 2 hours of free content from last year's clinic (plus videos from previous clinics).

Dr. Jeff Messer, John O’Malley, Dan Iverson and Jonathan Dalby, all former clinic presenters, will be in attendance. Scott Bliss and Jamie Kirkpatrick, both coaches who have taken teams to NXN, will be in attendance as well. Kelly Christensen just took a team to NXN as well and he'll be in attendance. Really excited about the quality of coaches who are taking the time to attend the clinic. The social should be a lot of fun and a great time to talk training and racing.

The clinic is this Friday and Saturday. If you can't make it, the videos will be available a few weeks after the clinic. I've printed extra copies of the 190-page spiral bound book with slides and handouts and there will be an option to purchase that with the videos.
