Training Mid Distance RunnersSince races are not run in a single energy
system, multiple energy systems should be employed during a workout.
In the words of Jack Daniels, “Mixed” workoutsSample workouts
3 x 1 mile @ Threshold + 6-8 x200s at Race pace2 miles @ T + 4x200 @ R + 3x800 @ I6x200 @ R + 2x1000 @ I + 2 x 1 mile @ T (Tues
prior to conference)

General Strength for Mid Distance Runners
![Page 16: Coach Jim Schools. Head Cross Country Coach Wyalusing Valley High School Since 1990 Head Track and Field Coach Wyalusing Valley High School Since 2008](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062300/56649dc55503460f94ab844b/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Before we answer the question why should distance runners work on general strength we should answer the question why we don’t.
![Page 17: Coach Jim Schools. Head Cross Country Coach Wyalusing Valley High School Since 1990 Head Track and Field Coach Wyalusing Valley High School Since 2008](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062300/56649dc55503460f94ab844b/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
TimeEquipmentNot importantLack of knowledgeI don’t like using the weight room.
![Page 18: Coach Jim Schools. Head Cross Country Coach Wyalusing Valley High School Since 1990 Head Track and Field Coach Wyalusing Valley High School Since 2008](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062300/56649dc55503460f94ab844b/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
TimeGeneral strength workouts can be incorporated
into warm and warm down teams. Circuits can be accomplished efficiently and
effectively in 6 to 10 minutes.
![Page 19: Coach Jim Schools. Head Cross Country Coach Wyalusing Valley High School Since 1990 Head Track and Field Coach Wyalusing Valley High School Since 2008](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062300/56649dc55503460f94ab844b/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
EquipmentThe routines that I am going to show you use
minimal amount of equipment. Most of them involve using your body and maybe a med ball.
![Page 20: Coach Jim Schools. Head Cross Country Coach Wyalusing Valley High School Since 1990 Head Track and Field Coach Wyalusing Valley High School Since 2008](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062300/56649dc55503460f94ab844b/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Not importantThe main focus of general strength routine is
to strengthen your supportive muscles. This has two effects:
First, if you have strong supportive muscles means that you will have a quicker recovery time and be more injury resistant.
Second, it will increase your speed, by increasing your running efficiency.
![Page 21: Coach Jim Schools. Head Cross Country Coach Wyalusing Valley High School Since 1990 Head Track and Field Coach Wyalusing Valley High School Since 2008](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062300/56649dc55503460f94ab844b/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Lack of KnowledgeThe question is not just what to do, but in what
order to circuits. The general rule of thumb is smaller muscles
to bigger muscles…simple to complicated. I will show you some simple circuits that are
already set up in the correct order. However, even doing a circuit in the wrong
order is better than not doing anything
![Page 22: Coach Jim Schools. Head Cross Country Coach Wyalusing Valley High School Since 1990 Head Track and Field Coach Wyalusing Valley High School Since 2008](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062300/56649dc55503460f94ab844b/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
I don’t like using the weight roomIf your weight is like the one at Wyalusing, the
football players dominate the weight room.These routines are done without using the
weight room. They can be done at the track, park, home, or where ever you are.
