VO2 Max peaks in 1-2 years and is much more constrained by genes (both where you start and how you respond to workouts).
Lactate Threshold and Economy can be improved for 10+ years.
This is why most should minor in intensity but major in easy/moderate work
After last year's trip down the Autobahn, this season has been filled with speedbumps. But October is #ChampionshipSeason and Beck Bennett is 2-for-2 as the team moves on to regional.

Some Jack Daniels wisdom - as coaches, we get three types of athletes.
The first is the kid with talent and drive. Those guys went championships and are "coach pleasers" because they will maximize that talent while making you look good as a coach.
The second type overcomes lack of talent with drive. They actually will run well but will frustrate themselves because they're never as good as they want to be. Those guys tend to be team leaders because they'll point the direction everyone needs to go.
For the third year in a row we take the top two places at conference. Beck Bennett FTW, Maddox Carver on the runner-up spot. Avery Franklin an secures All-Conference finish in 10th.
Team places 2nd this year.
What to do mid-week when you don't have a race this weekend? #Michigan

For my endurance athletes: New standards for Ferritin test when diagnosing Iron deficiency.
It used to be if Ferritin was over 15 ng/mL, you were considered "normal."
Now:
For most adults: 30 is the new threshold.
For high-risk groups, it's 50.
The best part of coaching isn't records and championships, it's attending your athletes' weddings. Congrats to Josh & Admission.
Great run today by Beck Bennett. Placed 3rd overall in a lifetime best 15:57.3 against spme pretty high level competition at the Taylor University Invitational.
Panthers placed 4th overall.
