You guys know what to do, please comment any college teams that train using a high level of intervals year round (not that lydiard crap)

The ones that suck.
Just got out of one. It's weird training, you never feel good, lots of injuries and much less consistent improvement from other training programs I've been in.
Would not recommend for most runners.

Seconded!
Op may think people are kidding but it is true. Go with any of the top tier programs and they will have time off and base building periods.

Why don't you just bloody listen to your high school coach.
Va tech was.
I guess that makes Oregon speed based now.
I believe the Naval Academy does fairly intense interval training year-round, and they have made nationals the past two years in XC.

Yeah but they finished dead freakin' last at Nats last year, and they did not do much better the year before that.
Its not about being a speed based program, it is about corrected years and years of Sh!tty distance running mechanics, Long slow miles are good, but long miles with crappy mechanics, make you just that a crappy runner. So get on board this is the new norm.

Ever bake a yellow cake with chocolate frosting? Do you put all the ingredients in the oven at the same time and hope a cake comes out? Do you mix the frosting in with the batter so it maintains its flavor throughout the baking process?
No, you do things in a set order for best results. First you combine the batter ingredients together and mix them, then you pour the batter into the pan and bake it in the oven. Once baked you take it out and let it cool, once the cake has cooled you put on the final touch-the chocolate frosting.

Pretty much it.

Western Oregon and Simon Fraser come to mind. Both have been very successful at the DII level using a speed-based approach.
Cakes and running have nothing to do with each other. That was a pointless comparison.
NOP does speed all year round.
Pretty much any university in Asia.

Yes NOP does speed all year round, but they do a bunch of easy mileage too. And, I guess you don't understand what a analogy is do you?

His point was that it’s a poor analogy. Did you not understand that?
