hey all

for some reason when my coach tells us our workouts, he never tells us how much rest we get

our team just ends up walking/jogging/standing for a while, never timed, before we start our next repeat.

if we ask our coach how much rest we should take, he'll make up some arbitrary number like "3 minutes" or just tell us to go when we feel ready

I understand that workouts do not always have to be extremely structured, but this has happened for every single one of our workouts in the time that I have been at this school (2 years). idk if he knows what hes doing...

how do i approach him about this? i dont want it to seem like im questioning how he trains us...but i kind of am?

re: nescac runnerr

I'd try showing him examples of how successful runners account for rest in their workouts, and suggest implementing something like it into your own workouts.

But if his system has worked for kids in the past, I'd follow it and try to integrate your own ideas respectfully.

Hope this helps

I usually crank one out every day or two, sometimes more, sometimes less. it's difficult to really predict how much rest you need - too many outside factors.
