There will be two series offered at today’s clinic featuring one presentation from each series being offered at every session during the day.

Track 1: Beginning Series. This series is designed for the beginning or inexperienced coach. It is recommended for coaches with five
years or less of experience. 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.


Track 2: Advanced Series: This series is designed for the experienced coach who understands the basic phsyiology of training
distance runners and who already has organizational and recruiting skills. Speakers will be presenting sessions that are specific
and assume a common level of knowledge and a common vocabulary specific to the sport.
