Doug’s teams have finished on the NXN podium 7 times and in 2015 his boys team won it all. He built Great Oak High School into a national powerhouse. Then he took over a new program in 2022 (Herriman) and in his first year there they finished 3rd at NXN. Although there are advantages to coaching in that area of the country, Doug shares principles that can be applied anywhere even if you are not a high school coach. Qualities of a good leader. Getting people to buy-in to your system. Working hard and making sacrifices but also coaching the whole person. And a good chunk of training talk at the end including Doug’s thoughts on mileage, developing athletes (not just runners), and staying healthy.

Michael was a 4-time NCAA All-American in college and the first man to break 4 minutes in the mile for the Virginia Tech Hokies. While he did not reach his goal of making an Olympic team (and in this episode he shares the largest obstacle he encountered along the way), the number of people he’s helped through coaching might be his proudest accomplishment.

In this episode he talks about coach Ben Thomas and 3:30 man Neil Gourley, two huge names in our sport that Michael has been influenced by. We also discuss his 4 core training principles. Most recreational runners, he says, push too hard in training. Are you sprinkling in speedwork? Are you doing the little things to make you better?

Ron Tabb is perhaps one of the most underrated runners of America’s golden age of distance running. He finished 4th at the 1980 US Olympic Marathon Trials and 2nd at the crazy deep 1983 Boston Marathon. His 2:09:31 personal record would still be one of the top times in the country. Back then it was different. No super shoes, no fancy watches. And there was little to no attention paid to things like nutrition and strength training. In this episode we talk about how Ron trained himself to a world class level, how legendary coach Bill Dellinger modified his training, and how many of the principles that he followed 40+ years ago is yielding success for the recreational runners he is now coaching.

Coach Daniel Rowland was born in South Africa. After racing triathlon for several years he moved to the trails and is now an avid trail and ultra-marathon runner. He parlays that experience, all the research he does, into coaching a variety of endurance athletes. In this episode we’re attempting to answer the question: What can marathoners learn from ultra-marathoners? How do the demands of these events compare and what training interventions work well for each?

Coach Ashley Bastron is an assistant cross country and track and field coach at Wake Forest University. Ashley is part of a program that is quickly becoming one of the best in the nation as evidenced by the Demon Deacons and their 5th place finish at the NCAA Division 1 Men’s Cross Country Championships last year. In this episode she talks to us about what she’s learned about sport psychology and the art of coaching. We spend all our time discussing the mental aspects of performance such as a healthy run-life balance and how to deal with pre-race anxiety.
