Finally! (A resource for distance runners)

By Athletes' Acceleration | March 11th, 2009

If you coach distance runners (or consider
yourself one) I’ve got just what you’ve been
looking for.

Scott Christensen, the Chair of Endurance
Coaching Education for USA Track and Field,
has just released a brand new resource aimed at
helping your improve your 800m-5000m endurance
athletes.

http://www.athletesacceleration.com/trackandfieldendurance.html

The biggest (118+ pages) in our Complete Track
and Field Conditioning series, Coach Christensen’s
book and audio CD give a practical, systematic
approach to developing your endurance athletes
without trying to confuse you with $5 scientific
terms.

What I really like about Scott’s book is that
it takes a progressive, 21st Century look at
training. You know how I feel about the
dinosaur era philosophies still being used in most
programs. And this resource, no matter what
your coaching experience, will give you new
tools to add to your toolbox.

From how to incorporate speed work (yes, real
’sprinter’ type speed development!) and strength
training to the critical importance of VO2
max (as well as specific workouts and training
progressions), you’ll be referring to this
resource for years to come.

http://www.athletesacceleration.com/trackandfieldendurance.html

Along with the book, you’ll get a 62+ minute
audio interview that dives even deeper into
the content presented in the book. As I read
the text I wrote down all the questions that
still remained and used them when I conducted
the interview with Coach Christensen. So I’m
confident in the added value you’ll get from
our discussion.

Where I live, spring track starts on Monday.

Scott Christensen’s guide to conditioning for
the endurance events will make your life a
lot easier.

I *highly* recommend it.

To your success,

Latif Thomas

Live Q&A Tomorrow (3/11)

By Athletes' Acceleration | March 10th, 2009

Planning and implementation of our programs
takes up a lot of time.

Sometimes we have to make concessions in order
to maintain our standards of excellence.

I’ve finally come to terms with the fact that
I simply can’t keep up with the demand for my
time.

So one of the areas I’m forced to cut back is
in answering so many training questions.

Instead I’ll use my weekly radio show to serve
this purpose (in addition to my monthly live
Q&A for customers of Complete Speed Training
and Complete Program Design for Sprinters).

If you want to pin me down and get your most
pressing training or coaching question answered,
tune in and call in Wednesday at 1pm Eastern
Daylight Time:

Back to Back Champs Sale (our lowest prices in history)

By Athletes' Acceleration | March 5th, 2009

Last weekend ‘my‘ girls 4×200m relay team
won their second All State Championship in
a row just a week after shattering their school
record, setting a Division II state record and
running the #7 time in state history.

Two State Titles in 12 months is pretty good
considering prior to last year no individual
or relay from the indoor team had won a state
title since 1986!

There’s no question the girls deserve a lot
of credit for running so fast with such a big
target on their backs.

To celebrate a successful season and title
defense, I’m offering the lowest prices ever
on the two resources that serve as the
foundation of my coaching and training programs:

Complete Speed Training and Complete Program
Design for Sprinters.

Back to Back Champs Sale

We’ve never offered these programs at a price
this low and we never will again.

The spring season is just about to start.

You’re not really going to run the same program
you ran last year, are you?

Back to Back Champs Sale
To your success,

Latif Thomas

P.S. Don’t ignore this sale just because you’re
not a track coach. Name a sport and Complete
Speed Training has been used successfully to
develop those athletes.

We’re in the business of developing superior
*athletes*. That’s not sport specific.
And Complete Speed Training and
Complete Program Design for Sprinters are
the most effective programs on the market.
Until Friday March 6 at 11:59pm EST, you
can get them at the lowest prices in history:

When it’s right, it’s wrong (video)

By Athletes' Acceleration | March 4th, 2009

As coaches and athletes we need to not only
accept this idea as fact, but use it to our
advantage:

Here’s how to make it right…

To your success,

Latif Thomas

P.S. At 1pm Eastern Standard Time today I’m taking
your training questions live on the air. Don’t
forget to tune in:
