Steve Scott's Complete Training Log 1981-1982

no prob

saw steve last night... it's hard to think of nicer, more genuine guys in the sport.

Agreed, just a good straight forward no bs guy...always was, always will be!

Where'd you see him? Casually running around the back streets of Leucadia??

there was a xc dinner last night

ahhhhh yes, Cal State San Marcos, right?

wow....that log is really amazing stuff. there's no craziness to it really (except the crazy fast track workouts...insane). just a lot of running, some turnover stuff once a week, a lot of strength stuff. scott was WAAAAAAYYYYY before my time (i'm 22) but he's phenomenal and, as a miler, someone that i look up to. glad to see how he trained, really inspirational to me.

wejo - can you make this a sticky thread where people can still post on it? best thread on letsrun, IMO.

yep

say mike, you still live in marin? i was in MV all summer at ArchRival.

I'd like to read about some of their workouts together.

Hulst lsted what one year? I think he finished first in the Division 2 NCAA CC championship and 26th at the Division 1 championship? Something like that?

Withrow, Eagon, Cormier........The Hulst, Scott runners are coming back!

trackhead,

Yup, still in Marin and training to run fast mile at 50 (an age group that I enter in a matter of weeks), hence the great inspiration from reading Steve's remarkable training log...While in Marin, how'd you like our 3 brand new tracks?? Tamalpais H.S., Redwood H.S., and Drake H.S. (Boulet's alma mater and a full 3 minute jog from my home)...if you're planning on being back up here next summer you might consider hooking up with some of our track sessions.

keep this thread on the front page

Tinman,

You often say that to drop mileage too much would result in loss of aerobic efficiency, but on Steve's logs he obviously dropped the mileage significantly during the racing season. Is your theory only in reference to distance races longer than 1500? Just curious.

You aren't paying attention in class. In Scott's log he bumped his mileage up for three weeks to rejuvenate his aerobic efficiency.

Scott's log is worth another look.

Thank you for reviving this thread from years ago. This is the first time I got to read it. My first road race was in '79. He was there running with Sub 4 back then. A friend pointed him out prior the race. I think Steve's running friend was a doctor. I met and cooled down with him in October '97 after he won his age group in a 5&10k race in Upland. What a modest man with all his accomplishments. I've run into him a couple of times running up and down Euclid Avenue between Foothill and 24th. He is aging graciously. A nod to all who say,"Hey Steve!"

anyone remember this thread? fascinating!

wow what a great thread! his training is great.

i have truly had enough

thanks

Hahahaha....
