[quote=Anonymous]Kids without much of a running background will improve significantly with training. No need to overdo it in 9th and 10th grade. I did have a running background. In the 70’s ran a sub 5 minute mile in 5th grade. 4:08 mile as a 10th grader. Recruiting took care of self after that - I was recruited by many. Not sure I liked the sport all that much. I always studied and was a good student and was indeed I used the athletic scholarship rather than let it use me. I was trained by a coach who ran for Igloi and in hindsight it was such an advantage. I just felt I always had sprint speed. I was 100 pounds in 9th grade - ran a 9:10 2 mile - and ran a 52 second 400 as a little pipsqueak. Igloi training is intense and requires a lot of coaching oversight, including the practice of accelerating quickly and changing speeds. There are very good modern approaches to training but query how to fold Igloi’s methods into it. It really opened up my world. [/quote]
