The Spring 2025 Track & Field In-Season 800m-3200m Training Plan is now available.
This 68-page training plan adheres to the Coaching Distance 400-5k philosphical system that I have used with my high school teams to produce state champions in every event from the 400 meters to the 3200 meters on the track and 5k Cross Country on the grass.
Athletes from my teams have earned over 200 medals at state meet competition and our most recognizable runner, Simeon Birnbaum, finished his high school career as one of the top Cross Country runners in the US along with having perhaps the best range in history, running 8:34.10 for 2 miles, 3:57.53 (Mile), 3:37.93 (1500m) and 1:47.97 for 800 meters.
I am 100% confident this training plan will bring your team success. EVERYTHING you need from a training standpoint is included in this plan.
