The Youth and Teen Running Encyclopedia is the first ever complete
guide for middle and long distance runners ages 6 to 18, their
coaches and parents. It shows the proven formula of Mick Grant, who
produced Hershey's North American Final qualifiers 12 consecutive
years, multiple Footlocker Finalists and National Champions several
years in a row, including Hershey's North American Final, USATF
Junior Olympics, USATF Youth Athletics Nationals and National
Scholastic Indoor Championships. All this from a group of ordinary
local kids, near Mick's home in Northeast Massachusetts. The book
lays out in detail how youth and teen athletes can achieve
successively higher levels, year after year after year, following
the proven success of Mick's training program. What differentiates
this program and this book from other programs and books is that it
is a unique blend of building endurance and improving basic speed
throughout the year, so that the athlete is much better next year
than they are this year. The program uses a FUN FIRST approach,
making sure the athletes enjoy what they are doing and stay
healthy, to allow consistent training. It is the first such book to
cover every topic imaginable for the youth and teen middle to long
distance runner, jammed packed with almost 200 pages of vital
information. This book is a must read for all youth runners age 6
to 18, and anyone helping youth runners starting on the way to a
lifelong enjoyment of running, and a successful running career.
While this book is geared to youth runners, it is a valuable
resource to all middle and long distance runners and coaches,
regardless of age or level, because the same basic principles apply
to all middle and long distance events..
