2011 Redding (CA)
A very interesting article ...
http://www.mcmillanelite.com/coachsblog.html
by an emerging running coach. You will recognize his web page ... home of the McMillan Pace Calculator. Greg is not new to either the running scene or coaching, but a number of his athletes have done quite well within the past two years. The folks he cites as mentors ... are legends in the running community.
Notice the very large emphasis Greg McMillan places on developing the "aerobic" system ... through lots and lots of long runs. Like many coaches have said over the years ... the long run is the focal point of our training.
