In this episode of the MindBodyMarathon, host Dr. Leo Kormanik, running expert talks with Joe Eby, a decorated runner and coach at Baldwin-Wallace, and regular guest Zach Goulet, a massage therapist. Joe reflects on his ten years coaching at Baldwin-Wallace and shares his coaching journey, which includes stints at various universities such as DePauw, Allegheny College, McPherson College, Wichita State, the University of Nebraska, and Sacramento State.
The discussion revolves around innovative ideas for enhancing track and field events, particularly focusing on the Harrison Dillard Twilight meet. The use of programmable LED rope lights for pacing is explored, but due to NCAA regulations, plans to expand this concept were scrapped. The conversation touches on scheduling, specifically the timing of the 800m and 1500m events, which were adjusted to accommodate athletes aiming for national qualifying times.
Joe Eby expresses his desire to attract elite unattached athletes to elevate the meet's profile, noting that Baldwin-Wallace's Mondo track offers excellent facilities comparable to other top venues. He mentions the potential for hosting more events, despite the current limitation of just a few meets per year on the fast track.
The dialogue shifts to the evolution of running culture, highlighting how running has gained popularity and become "cool," contrasting it with past perceptions. The importance of proper training and injury prevention through functional movement screens is emphasized, particularly for high school athletes.
Joe is preparing to speak at a coaches clinic about bridging gaps in athlete training, focusing on core work and strength training to reduce injury risks. He also shares insights on the biomechanics of 800m runners, discussing how different pelvic structures can affect performance and training capacity. Overall, the conversation captures the challenges and innovations in organizing track events and coaching athletes effectively.
The discussion revolves around the differences in training and biomechanics among various elite middle-distance runners, focusing on their internal and external hip rotation. It highlights how some athletes, like Hopple and Clayton, display a balanced approach to training, while others, like Rinaldi's group, show a natural speed that allows them to handle higher training volumes. The speaker explains a simple method for assessing hip mobility, noting that a normal hip has equal internal and external rotation.
The conversation also touches on the challenges coaches face in filtering through the myriad of training advice available, particularly as it pertains to popular training methods like "double thresholds," which may not suit every athlete due to their unique physiological characteristics. The discussion emphasizes the importance of understanding individual athletes' biomechanics and the risks of adopting training methods based solely on the success of top competitors, such as Jakob Ingebrigtsen.
The speaker reflects on their experiences in a highly competitive environment, noting that their training philosophy is influenced by their past, where consistent racing was a norm. They believe that frequent racing builds experience and readiness, contrasting with other programs that may limit competition. Overall, the conversation underscores the need for a nuanced approach to training that considers individual athlete profiles and the importance of race experience.
The discussion emphasizes the importance of consistent racing and training for middle-distance runners. A coach reflects on the necessity of running multiple races, such as eight hundreds and fifteen hundreds, to build the skills and experience needed for peak performance, particularly at conference and national meets. The coach cites examples of athletes like Kelly Brennan and Hope Murphy, who excelled at national competitions by racing frequently, which helped them become adept at competing at a high level.
The conversation also highlights the developmental journey of younger athletes, noting that they often lack the resilience and mental toughness needed to handle the physical demands of racing. The coach points out that high school and college athletes often struggle with minor injuries and discomfort, which can hinder their training. Over time, as athletes mature, they develop a greater ability to handle pain and push through challenges, similar to how professional athletes like LeBron James have earned the right to train differently due to their experience and success.
The coach discusses the challenges of applying advanced training methods, such as "double thresholds," to younger athletes who have not yet built a solid foundation. The conversation touches on the need for patience in developing an athlete's capabilities while recognizing that each athlete's journey is unique.
The conversation transitions to the speaker's personal experience as an adult runner, mentioning their participation in an adult track meet where they aim to break two minutes in the 800 meters. They recount how this friendly competition started and share their training journey alongside a younger athlete, Hope Murphy. The speaker also discusses their background in track and field, including their decision to attend Mount Union, driven by the positive reputation of the program and a personal visit that solidified their choice.
The speakers then shift to offering advice for listeners of all ages about running. One emphasizes the importance of consistency in training, sharing their experience of running daily since 2012, excluding a brief recovery period after surgery. They stress the need to make time for running and to stay fit enough to join friends for runs at any time.
