Does anyone have more information on what the NAU training this fall looked like. In the interview with Baxter and Day they mentioned Mike Smith was really pushing the limits this fall with training intensity. Smith also mentioned that he may have overlooked the team mid season. Love to hear the details if anyone has insight.
A lot of talent + 7000 foot altitude + 100 mile weeks + Tempos = Run fast 10k
Its not a magic formula

No Smith specifically said they did something different this year that he thought burned them out early in the season. It would be interesting to know what changes he made.
I know from Drew Bosley's Strava that they were doing more double threshold (and some of them were at 9000+ feet of elevation in their special treadmill altitude chamber)
