Finally, something by him I agree with. Out of curiosity, what happened with jonathan marcus and noah droddy thread? Why was it deleted.
While I certainly am no fan of the Daniels formula, as I see it as far too basic to achieve maximum results, I think he's definitely gone a little far on this one. I can't imagine any college (maybe very few) use Daniels to a T, and I highly doubt any professional coaches use it at all.
It is a simple, fool proof method to get from point A > Point B. The formula at the very least provides structure, appropriate paces relative to your fitness, periodization, and in general a focus on aerobic development. Most people aged 14-18 will improve by following it. That's way more than most high school programs can provide.
People tend to forget there are A LOT of TERRIBLE coaches out there who ruin runners way more than Daniels does.
