your high school adaptation is simple: stick to a tried and true training plan that works around your key races, believe in the system, and get your athletes and their parents to buy into it too, so that they're training 11-12 months a year.
This.
I have one. Just always looking to improve it. No formula is perfect and every coach should be looking to improve every single year.
It's kind of the inverse of summer of Malmo--run easy miles, but get them in, and be consistent.
Hey, know you already did all this work, but do you know the route of the Long Magnolia runs. I've been trying to remake it, but having a little trouble with it.

A bunch of people on Strava do it... here are some examples:

Day 1- Hilly Long Run
Day 2- Strides
Day 3- Workout
Day 4- Medium Long Run
Day 5- Strides
Day 6- Workout
Day 7- Easy
Thats two longer runs, two stride sessions, and two Intensity sessions every week. Very simple, sensible, and covers all the bases. Thanks for sharing this.

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.
Shut up you dumb annoying looser. O yeah, grow up too!

I have the Jay Johnson book "Simple marathon training" and the rhythm of the week seems very similarly to how Wetmore set it up:
Easy w/ strides the day before a workout, and then a Med long or long run on the day after (tired legs run).
Thinking of the supercompensation model and the fact that DOMS would only show up on day 2 after a workout, this is likely the reason for doing the long runs following quality. (Daniels does this too I believe).
From what I gather, the long run was a major focus in the training and should be looked at as another quality day.
The way I see it was that your A workout was before the Med long run (tired legs run), the B workout was before the Long run (which can be counted as Quality day #3)
Was it all singles or did they ever double?

That book noted very clearly that Goucher did his summer miles in singles, and I don't recall any mention of any runner doing doubles any other time.

That's true. There's also a lot in the book and since about Wetmore's preference for singles over doubles for college runners because of the stress of school. Not sure if he's different with his professionals though or if he's changed his stance on this since.

Anyone interested in adapting this to a High School program?
M: 80-90 minute progression long run
T: 40-50 minutes easy + strides
W: Dual Meet or workout
T: 60-70 minutes easy
F: 40-50 minutes easy + strides
S: Race or workout
S: Off or 30-40 minutes easy
High schoolers race so much they don’t need a ton of really hard workouts. Maybe a few leading up to championship races. Otherwise tempo type workouts with some strides should suffice.
Oh and that Monday Progression Long Run is the Main “workout” of the week. Strength equals speed in distance running.
If they only ran singles why did every single one of them burn out, from Goucher to the Torres twins?
Ponce is doing aight I hear
