Good god a 16-17 mile long run is more than enough to scare off runners. Little need to push it to more than 13-14

2hr run at 8min/mile should be a breeze for most hs runner's.

First, a brief message of introduction: I am not a "coach" in the sense that I've any actual credentials. I've never attended a USATF coaching class (as though that actually meant anything anyway)
I didn't read past this point.
The level 2 endurance course is very helpful for understanding how and why certain training works and when to apply it.
But, it's great you already know everything, and have no need to learn from anyone else. That is the sign of a great coach.
I just saw this was bumped from 2011! Oh well, the guy is almost middle aged. I forgive him!
Bump.
This is a pretty good, quality post.

Wish the haters would at least read the entire post, but I guess that's asking too much.

Also another word of note regarding adapting a schedule to different ability levels: volume aside, I think this schedule is a little too difficult for MOST high school athletes. Younger athletes would probably be smart to do things such as dropping the "moderate" chunk off the long run, shortening tempos (if they are doing less volume), and doing broken versions of tempos (like 3x8 min @ tempo, 2 min jog, continuous) if they are not yet fit enough or focused enough to hammer away for extended periods. Be creative.
Hmmm....
