In this mini-episode Coach Jay explains what coaches should do when an athlete is ill. Hint: Lowering the volume, but expecting them to run workouts that replicate the demands of the race is the way to go.

In this episode, Jay Johnson explains why he doesn't use the term speed work. He goes into detail about how he thinks coaches should use the term speed. It's his contention that the term 'race pace work' can often be used to assign training to athletes.
Check out Jay's other podcast, Running with Coach Jay, to hear his views on why this term is also problematic for adult runners.
Alex Lyons is a tremendous coach and I'm so happy he not only joined me on the podcast, but that's he's part of the Boulder Running Clinics 2020-21 Winter Webinar Series.
Alex is the girl's coach at Lyons Township High School in La Grange, Illinois. The girls have had tremendous success in both cross country and track during his time as the head coach.
Alex spent part of his collegiate running years at American University where Matt Centrowitz was his coach and we discuss how Coach Centrowitz's approach influenced his coaching.
In this wide-ranging conversation, we spend a significant amount of time on training and why he does what he does with his athletes.
Thank you Alex for being the first guest in the podcast!
