Opening Thoughts
The purpose of this e-letter is two-fold. First I would like to share information on training/racing techniques that I have developed in my fifteen years of racing/coaching. If you think there is something valuable in here that others could use, please pass it on. If there is something that you would like to see in here,send me an email. I have developed a large network of great resources and I if I don't have the answer, I will know someone who does. Secondly, this e-letter will be my personal space to brag about the athletes I coach and give them the praise they deserve--after all--it's the athlete that does the hard work.
Train Smart,
Coach Mike

The Trouble with Relying on Heart Rate Monitors
Learning to Run Using the Alternative
Heart monitors were one of the best tools to be made available to the public in the mid 1980’s . The average Joe was able to afford a ‘coach’ and have their ‘coach’ with them at all times. If you thought you were training too hard, all you had to do was look down at your wrist and see what your HRM was telling you. Did you think you were going too easy? The HRM told you that as well. It was and is like having a coach right by your side.
