Thank you. Good stuff.
Quality content that's super well done. Nice job and thanks.
Thanks for doing all this. This is a lot of work. I am not complaining, it is great stuff....but what made you want to do all this? Maybe we could get a thread where you have all the previous posts condensed for people to look at?
Thanks!

+1, I might compile all of them into one thread later today. Again, thank you OP.
The NCAA may want to know where the require 1 day off per week is each week.
NCAA athletes can only practice 6 days per week. The coach cannot even direct them to run on their off day.

You obviously didn't read the book! They had one OYO (on your own) day every week. It's been a while since I read the book so I can't remember which day it was (maybe Monday?) It was one of the non workout days. The OP who created the document took some liberties with creating the non workout days. Most of the runs assigned in the book were based on distance and not time. We also were not told what everyone ran on every non hard workout day.
What's @AT pace?

Nothing from prohibiting me from running more on my own free time. Cam Levins ran up to 150+ MPW in college, no one forced him to do that.
I would be curious to see how it differs from what they do presently.
Anyone have any insight?

Anerobic Threshold - basically a tempo run

Although they described the 10 mile runs as being run as fast as possible. They called it "The Dam"
I recommend you all do that training program. As someone who raced against that ‘98 team on many occasions, I can say they thoroughly kicked my ass. If you are left standing at the end of it you too will kick my ass. Good luck!
What's the difference between AT and LT pace? I thought that Anaerobic threshold and Lactate threshold are essentially the same pace, but this schedule appears to view them as two distinct paces.

Wetmore never used the term LT. He did use the term AT. The OP took some liberties with how he wrote up the schedule. The "AT/LT" runs were hard 8k or 10k runs on the track. The 10 mile "AT" runs were called "The Dam" and were described as 10 miles flat out. The 8k/10k AT runs were on the track and Wetmore would tell them what pace he wanted them to run. Like he might tell Goucher to run 10k at 74 per lap. Something like that.
Like real talk, is anyone else enjoying the positivity on letsrun in these threads? Or is it just me?

People like you confound and baffle me.

The guys who made it through the program healthy did well (Goucher, Friedberg, Roybal) and everyone else seemed like they were just holding things together by the end. Maybe that's the way it always is on the D1 level, though.
Interesting that, other than strides, they're typically doing 2 workouts or 1 workout and a race along with five mileage days, so what kind of pace would they be running on mileage days? Those guys were very competitive, which makes me wonder whether they were racing each other often on those days or held back and saved it for nationals. Then too are the paces adjusted for altitude? If Goucher ran 30:35 for 10k (74/lap), was that considered roughly equivalent to 29:38 (the NCAA altitude converter for Boulder gives 61 seconds for 29:46 and 63.5 for 30:48 for men http://www.ustfccca.org/assets/ncaa-info/2009-outdoor-alt-adjust.pdf)? If Goucher was in 28 flat shape, then he would be running about 15 seconds per mile slower than 10k pace, adjusted, which would be a fast goal tempo pace, right?
