Rate MY College Coach by these workouts.

At our first meet coach brough gallons and gallons of choclate milk to use between events as "recovery". I know choclate milk is supposed to be a good post workout recovery drink but can it be used between two events effectivley ? Also its really sweet and sugary I am not sure if it has to be a specific type of choclate milk ? It seems like he just reads stuff in runners world and then does what they say for everyone on the team.

This is why we need to move to a club system, we can weed these coaches out because they wouldn't have any runners left.

This weekend was our first meet of the second semester we got our buts kicked our men were last in team scoring with 2 points and women were second to last with 10 points (all from one girl). Then on Monday coach sits us down and tells us he thinks we can win our conference this year ... which is just crazy the best team in our conference has literally 60 men and 60 women we have 30 total.

He told us the reason we performed so poorly was that our training is very simple so simple it takes a long time for us to be good but when we are good we are going to be so much better.

Is he maybe insane ?

you make big mistake expecting all college coaches to be bright. they are not.

the lesson you need to learn here is to challenge the thinking.

your college coach doesn't even understand what a lactate threshold is -- correct answer is it doesn't exist -- and even if you are physiologically prehistoric you should know LT values have no bearing on sprint performance nor would slow jogging be the way to improve that parameter if you chose to fixate on it as having merit.

Ok...this guy officially gets troll of the year. I have never seen such irrational hatred of a coach in my life. Seriously, why does this person care so much? He is obviously playing several roles on this thread...anyone considering Roberts Wesleyan or cedarville is not going to drop the"$hit" name. So what if he sucks? How does it affect you? I assume you are not really one of his athletes and even if you were, quit the team, compete with the syracuse chargers. Either way, have a sit down with your coach and talk to him about this...man up.

Maybe he is training you for the chocolate milk mile...
