by Larry EderThis is week 4, Day 3. Today is an easy day. The challenge for an athlete and coach relationship is finding a relationshp that works and how a coach fine tunes the training. The body needs to recover, and it is hard/easy package for most that works best. Some athletes need two easy days between hard days. The idea is to find a system that works for the athlete and works for the coach.
Danny Mackey has a group of athletes in the Brooks Beasts TC, coaching athletes who race from 800m to the 10,000m. Danny, like many coaches, has to find a program that works for each individual athlete. That is the puzzle, and the art of coaching.
Today’s workout: February 2, 2022, Wednesday: warm up, 30-45 minutes, moderate running, 4 x 100m stride outs, cooldown
