I've run across a copy of Vin Lan's adaptation of Daniel's training progression presented at the NACACTFCA conference in 2004. Its called "Coaching Distance Runners. Science or Art?"
Has anyone successfully used or adapted this program with any success? Any suggestions for tailoring it for hs athletes?
any idea where those of us who arnt exactly familiar with the "NACACTFCA" (not even gonna guess what that stands for) can get a hold of his program?
Yes, I would love to have a copy of that information!
It stands for: North America, Central America, Caribbean Track and Field Coaches Association.

You can do a google search on that acroynmn and Vin's name and probably turn it up. That's how I found it the first time I heard someone mention it.

"Coaching Distance Runners: Science or Art"
How about both. Its a science in knowing the different types of training and all their variations and how they effect the body. Its a art in knowing when to use each type of training for each individual person.
Its not "Science OR Art". It should be "Science And Art".
