To athletes: "Run alot, throw the watch in the garbage, enjoy what you do, learn to race, and most of all, have fun...I don't care what workouts you do. I don't care how many miles a week you run. Just love it, and you'll be good."
To coaches: "Keep 'em coming back. Hug their neck, kick their butt, but keep 'em loving what they're doing. That's all there is to it"
Some great advice from UVA's (formerly Texas') Jason Vigilante on thinking long term, balancing training, and establishing a structure that allows athletes to succeed. "If you have the drive, I can help you get there." More coaches could take to heart how it's important to have guys feeling good, excited to race, and ready to compete instead of getting in that extra rep or squeezing out a few more seconds in a workout.
