Good morning, Wejo/Rojo/Jgault,
I hope you are doing well! I am a massive fan of the podcast. I am a supporters club member and have listened to every episode for at least a year, and most episodes for several years. I wear my shirt loud and proud and tell everyone who will listen that your pod is the best source for running news. I was secretly a little disappointed that Lyles won the 100 this year, because I wanted Rojo’s hot take to live on to 2028.
Recently, I have taken over as Head Track & Field and Cross Country coach at *** University, a top *** school in ***. I have a strong desire to improve upon a couple areas of our training, primarily strength and weight room work. I am reaching out to ask if you have any contacts in successful running programs who may be willing to give me some guidance in terms of weight room programming (or coaching overall). I have close connections with *** (Olympic distance runner), *** (NCAA champion distance runner), **** (Olympic champion), *** (world record holder in sprints) and some other great runners who I am seeking some guidance from.
However, I would love to talk to some people with more experience with top long-distance runners. The first thought that came to my mind regarding letsrun connections was Mike Scannell, I would love to know what Grant Fisher is doing in the weight room! However, any pointing in the right direction would be appreciated! Thank you guys for what you do, you are by far my favorite running podcast and website.
I believe in the power and wisdom of crowds, so let's hear your responses. What are your suggestions? I was thinking about my own training a few days ago and thought, "Online somewhere there should exist a video that shows you exactly what plyos and drills to do every day so you don't have to think about it. I'd love to see "Program X's non-running weekly schedule and video explanations." Does that exist?
