Michelle Thomas Ohio State Girls 3200 Champion 2010 and 2011 Ohio State Girls Cross Country Champion 2011 An author who has a passion for and stands behind what he writes. Get yourself a copy! I have couple of them myself. Thanks for the insights Chuck!" Phil Mogus Revere HS Track and Field Coach Richfield, Ohio "Your book arrived last evening and I could not put it down. I am very impressed with the time you must have spent putting this together. What a valuable tool for track coaches." D. Emeott High School Men's Track and Field Coach From the Author I have always been a believer in metrics. I need to see supporting numbers, clinical studies and repeatable results before I believe in a system. I have been that that way with my own businesses and my running in coaching endeavors. Combine this burden of proof with my fascination for running the mile and the result is this book. And after eight years since this book was first published we have enough results to show that following the training outlined in this book can result in a improved mile time. Chuck Bridgman - 1/2016 Third Edition What To Do On Race Day and the American Kenyans The previous two editions of this book left off at tapering for the big race. Now we have what to do on race day. We spent a lot of time on analyzing past races of the mile and 1500m, plus we've interviewed some of the great ones that broke 4 minutes in high school - Marty Liquori, Tim Danielson, Alan Webb and high school teammates of Jim Ryun. And from this we've created the Three Laws of Racing the Mile. Hope you enjoy and find beneficial Marty and Jim's high school workouts. Chuck Bridgman 12/2015
