Topics include the basic physiology of training a high school distance runner, how to construct a season long training plan, how to recruit and build your team, and all the things you need to know as a head coach to stay one step ahead of the CIF, your AD, and the principal.

Speakers will be presenting sessions that are specific and assume a common level of knowledge and a common vocabulary specific to the sport.
