If she is this successful at 60/week, she will be faster at the longer distances when she is doing 85/week. Add a full-time trainer to that mix, and she should be dynamite at her dream school!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31292861.post-73351976493214241992015-06-17T20:16:37.382-07:002015-06-17T20:16:37.382-07:00Anonymous @ 6:57 PM

Collins is running more than 60 miles a week, which seems more comparable with what top collegiate runners are doing. Whether it works for her in the long run only time will tell.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31292861.post-59574145037880371842015-06-17T18:57:00.847-07:002015-06-17T18:57:00.847-07:00I feel like if you looked at the HS age training s...I feel like if you looked at the HS age training schedule of any medal winning/contending 5k runner it might look like this. This wouldn't work for 95% of American HS athletes but maybe Destiny Collins is the exception who will go on to Olympic glory. I'm rooting for her!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31292861.post-49868656538069985632015-06-15T12:59:15.258-07:002015-06-15T12:59:15.258-07:00But very few go on to be good in college.

Those are today's best, just as they did in HS.

Plus the fact that they are doubling multiple days a week? Crazy. <br /><br />It's really not a healthy approach. Yes, it gets results. But it's inappropriate for high school kids.
