COACHES TRAINING AIDS
The Coaches Training Aids page is designed to give new and experienced coaches resources to start and to grow their programs. We provide you simple yet effective training models to work with while emphasizing the importance of helping kids become lifelong runners rather that one-time wonders. We hope you refer to this page often as we will continue to update it to reflect current trends in training young distance runners.
