400 to 5k Training System
The overarching philosophy in the Coaching Distance High School training plans is a balanced approach that addresses all of the physiological and biomotor skills associated with improvements in the 400m all of the way to the 5k.
What does this approach entail?
High school distance athletes, regardless of talent, are in a developmental stage and will benefit short-term and long-term from a balanced training approach. From a running standpoint, this approach builds endurance, speed and everything in between.
Athletic development training builds strength, power, speed, mobility, flexibility and skill through carefully programmed strength, plyometric, speed development and mobility, flexibility and coordination routines.
