The way we do Russian 200's is sets of 5x200m with 100m jog after each one, except a 200m jog before the last one in each set. If you start at the 1500m line, then this routine will total a 1500m with 1000m of it being "on." You'll finish at the fin...

First, I’ll credit my college coach, Rob Wood, with helping me come up with this workout. Before my first year on my own at Portland State I really did not want to start off the year with a time trial. I felt like there may not be as much to lear...

Though last Friday I threw in three 400m surges at designated times throughout my run, I would hardly call that a workout. That's the same as when I prescribe 4x200m at the end of a warm-up for my athletes; it's more about just waking up the legs than ...

A little bit of technical difficulties with today's video episode, which I didn't have time to fix before I headed off to work. I'll get this corrected this evening and you will have something fun to wake up to in the morning. April Fool's pranks inclu...

Got out for day 2, and basically did the same thing as yesterday (video). Went a little faster today, though. I think my legs got a little excited, especially since the first half-mile is all downhill. A combination of that and some sweet tunes and all...
