Just because I wrote a piece on CRITICAL VELOCITY for letsrun.com website, per the request of Weldon Johnson, doesn't mean that I train runners using just that pace.
Under my care, Drew Hunter has always done multiple paces within workouts and during training cycles. Likewise, I have always trained my athletes that way.
Have a good day.

Tinman, congratulations on Drew's success. 3:57.81i in hs is hard to believe but while sick just indicates how fast this kid can run this year. Thank you also for the clarification that your athletes run multiple paces. We see the 10k pace (for 1k repeats), the mile pace (for 200s), and the faster stuff (for strides), as well as the very easy recovery running (7 minute pace after the nike camp hard run), so presumably there is also some 1 hr pace type running for tempos, since you wouldn't have them running 30 minute pace for a 20-40 minute tempo. It didn't make sense to me that he was just doing 10k pace to train to run sub 4 miles, so I appreciate the clarification. But when I look at how plenty of college teams get their best results after about a month of their seasons when their workouts are primarily 3k pace or faster (e.g. 800s on 400 rest), and you say that this kind of work gets improvement for maybe 4 weeks before stagnation and injury, whereas doing more 10k pace workouts brings longer-term improvement and health, that explains those results.

So you are saying there is no such thing as neuromotor skills development?
Have you always been this ignorant, or did you really have to work at it?
Jon you just use clichés. There's no clear examples of what occurs at the synaptic level in any of your writing.

Well, your fanboys were hyping the cr@p out of CV, which elicited responses from those who have watched 3:30 to 3:36 guys do workouts.
At Prefontaine he look liked garbage. What happened?
Wow Tinman is gonna be creating another Hunter next year and again and again. This is gonna be amazing.
TBH Hunter doesn't look good even when running 3:57. He's kind of the U.S. HS Nigel Amos.
