The best online articles....

The emergence of the internet over the last 10-15 years has meant a plethora of material in regards to training. In no particular order are some of my favourites......have fun reading, but each of these is worth the time....I am sure there are many others I have left out, but these are always ones I found the ones that stuck with me over time! Most of these aren't scientific (you can find that easily) and to me represent the true blue components of my running philosophies.


Joe Rubio:
Rubio is the Aggies coach, and has produced many high calibre athletes, but I have always enjoyed his take in multi faceted training.

Jeff Johnson:
His internet famous speech at a high school border clash has gone down in the annals. Johnson was Nike's first employee and was a great coach with the Farm Team

Vin Lananna:
An absolutely fantastic article/presentation by Vin Lananna at the NCAC XC meet one year. IMHO the best firsthand stuff I've seen on the net by one of the most respected coaches.

Malmo's series of posts.....they are truly legendary and speak of an athlete who has been around the block enough times

Joe Vigil:
The man, the myth the legend. This is his marathon training, but the guy is still motivational over the internet

Ovett:
I've always enjoyed Harry Wilson's training and since Ovett was his greatest athlete this is a really interesting read from Ovett's main training partner. I've always found it funny how some people have to write everything down in a log, while Ovett never wrote anything down.

Bideau:
IMHO Bideau is absolutely spot on with training. He used to be Mottram's coach, but they had a falling out.

Wardlaw:
Wardlaw's magic words on mileage, aerobic conditioning and not leaving your races in training are rules any coach and athlete need to follow. He used to coach Bideau and interesting enough now works wit Mottram.
