Coach Jay Johnson has been gracious enough to offer the RunnersConnect team a discount on his Boulder Running Clinic videos. I want to tell you a story about why I think these clinics are a great way to learn, give you the details on the discount, and even if you’re not interested, give you 7 awesome, specific pieces of actionable advice.
Recently, while meeting some of the Team RC athletes before the Boston Marathon, one athlete asked me how I managed to learn so much about training.
Specifically, she mentioned that she too had read all the foundational training books, like Lore of Running, Daniels Running Formula and others, but wondered how us coaches were able to think outside the box with a lot of the articles we write and, more importantly, how we were able to apply the knowledge so well.
After thinking about it for a bit, I realized the answer was that most of the knowledge I’d absorbed came directly from other coaches, either by running for them personally or from attending clinics they had presented at.
In my opinion, clinics and conferences are where the true cutting-edge training ideas come from.
More importantly, clinics and conferences allow for a much deeper connection between the theory and science and how it’s applied to training itself. This is because clinic presenters almost always have one or two specific case studies.
Unfortunately, these types of clinics are usually only available to other coaches, are in locations that make it prohibitively expensive to attend, and designed for high-level coaches – not normal athletes.
But not any more.
Jay Johnson has developed a series of training clinics for runners that removes all of these obstacles.
Most importantly, he’s designed the clinics for runners like you. Not meant for just coaches, but for average runners who want to connect the latest scientific research to practical training applications they can use.
If you’re a fan of RunnersConnect, then I know this type of thing is right up your ally.
Here is what’s covered in the first of these Boulder Running Clinics:
- Dr. Jeff Messer, a lab director, professor and coach at Mesa Community College in Arizona, discusses the coaching methods of Alberto Salazar and how to apply them to your training. Messer will also talk about new scientific research that challenges long-held beliefs about running and recovery, such as the ice bath.
- Boulder chiropractor Dr. Richard Hansen talks extensively about injury prevention and core stabilization for runners. Specifically, risk factors for those who suffer from shin splints and IT band injuries.
- Finally, Jay Johnson discusses long-term planning in training, how to peak for optimal performance, and how to plan a season.
