Podcast #44 | “What can Marathoners learn from High School Runners?” with Tucker Grose (@trainingwithtucker)

Published by Coach Chris Knighton on

What can adult marathon runners learn from the experiences of high school cross country and track & field team training? Good high school training programs put a large focus on learning the skills of efficient running movement patterns, performing supplemental exercises to support your running, competing as a team sport vs running as an individual sport, progressing from short to long events, and much more. These are all aspects of training that high schoolers develop to become better athletes, but adults usually don’t prioritize these components of running.

Join Coach Chris Knighton and Tucker Grose, cross country and track coach at Stargate High School in Thorton Colorado, and coach of adult distance runners at “Training with Tucker” for a conversation on “What can adult marathoners learn from high school runners?”
