Today, May 30th, 2009 is a day Aaron Springer will remember the rest of his life. Today he was part of two relays which received medals at the Illinois State High School Track Meet in Charleston, IL and those two relays played a pivotal part in his team’s 3rd place finish and a state trophy. Aaron has been posting his training log on Elitetrack since November, 10th of last year and while his e

Thats a great story and congrats to Aaron and the rest of the supporting cast. It’s nice to hear another success story with the low mileage training for a mid distance athlete. I wish more coaches would see that the 800 is more of a sprint than anything. You post some good advice on here to all of the coaches/athletes who read everything on here. I find myself doing a lot of reading/lurking and don’t post too often but plan on posting my training starting this summer since my season is coming to a close this month coming up…The only problem is that I am a dec guy…and this site is full of multi guys posting their training… oh well, one more won’t hurt.

Eric:

Thanks for the reply, I really wish the logs were used more and more people took ownership in them. I think the success rate of those involved with this board who contribute is high. I wanted to use Aaron’s log as example. I didn’t have splits of his state final races but both were PRs for him although I was worried all week that his fitness for either race may be waning. I don’t think there too much posting. I get PMs at a rate of about 1-2 a week on training. I stopped answering them lately mostly because its so hard to say what to do without much background and the logs provide the background. I was also trying to highlight how the logs can be a positive experience for both coaches and athletes.
