The framework with which they worked seems based on the same principles. Can anyone explain the key differences of any of these coaches to another?
Anyone know Kellog's biggest success stories...?
Thanks.

Wetcoast of TnF fame? How generous of you to grace us with your presence!
But yeah anyway I would have thought that Kellog's most obvious big success story is wejo... beyond that I dunno...
I get the impression that he is not a particularly "big name" coach in that he doesn't seem to have coached any running "celebrities", or immensely successful collegiate or club programs of note (at least none that I am immediately aware of), nor has he published anything that I know of other than his entries on this site.
It seems to me that the obvious differences between Lydiard and Kellog are:
- the specificty if the hill sessions (Lydiard's system has exact procedures to follow for hill training, whereas what I've read of Kellog makes only vague reference to "alactic power hills", or something of that nature).
- Mileage demands in terms of quantity and pace. Lydiard advises up to 100 mi./wk. at "best aerobic effort", with another sizeable volume of "jogging" added on top (up to 40 or 50 mi. from what I've read).
Kellog, on the other hand, makes no specific demands with regards to pace or effort for any specific portion of the weekly mileage, but he does give numbers for TOTAL weekly mileage (120 - 150 mi. at the athlete's peak).
Um... other than that I'd say that they are virtually identical. Fundamentally, I'd say they were exactly identical.
^specificity OF the hill sessions
Yes TNF
Thanks.
I see a more aggressive explanation from Kellog himself...or more forthright, certainly about the need for 120 to 150 miles per week.
Lydiard was a minamalist. I don't think JK is.
