Podcasts about field hall

This episode is a re-air of our conversation back on February 26, 2020 with our friend and brother Omar Craddock, who was named to the Florida Track & Field Hall-of-Fame for the class of 2023 on March 29, 2023. Omar was the very first guest on our show, so with the recent announcement of being named a hall-of-famer, we decided to dedicate this week's episode to our guy and to re-introduce him to those that aren't familiar with his journey. We hope you enjoy!

Our guest this week is multi-talented Masters Thrower Myrle Mensey from St Louis, MO who, despite becoming a septuagenarian earlier this year, continues to dominate both nationally and internationally. Her catalogue of world records is endless, both in hammer and shot put and as a coach she knows a thing or two about throwing discuss and javelin too.  Despite growing up before Title IX and missing out on the school and college sports available today Myrle decided to take up Masters Athletics at the age of 50. Unfortunately she ruptured her achilles tendon two years later, which put a stop to her running so she turned her hand to throwing instead. She was ranked World Number One in 12lb weight throw from 2011-2014. And from 2007 to today Myrle is ranked number one in the USA in five or more events for 12 consecutive years. In addition to multiple records Myrle was the 2013 USA Track and Field Masters Thrower of the Year, the 2013 USA Track and Field Masters Overall Female Athlete of the Year and was inducted to the USA Track and Field Hall of Fame in 2014. She is an IAAF Level 5 Throws Coach, USA Track and Field Certified Level 3 Throws Coach and Certified USA Track and Field Level 2 for Jumps and Youth Specialization.  Determined to pave the way for girls to have advice and access to sport in 2008 she established Throwing and Growing – The Myrle Mensey Foundation, which is Not-for-Profit Organization providing mentoring, educational, nutritional information and physical fitness programs for girls while participating in the throwing sports.

Today’s episode features track coach Tony Holler, famous for his “Feed the Cats” training system for high school sprinters.  He is also the coach of Marcellus Moore, a rising junior and one of the top sprinters in the nation with a 100m personal best of 10.31 ran as a high school sophomore.   Tony is a teacher and coach at Plainfield North High School with 35 years experience coaching football, basketball, and track.  He is a member of Illinois Track & Field Hall of Fame and appeared on episode #61 where he spoke on his essentials of the “Feed the Cats” sprint philosophy that prioritizes maximal speed training, rest and low-dosage work.   Training is much more than X’s and O’s, as the environment coaches create has a massive impact on the athlete.  The environment the “Feed the Cats”/Rank-Record-Publish model provides for Tony’s sprinters is so powerful, it has drawn the interest of not only other sports, but also interest to it’s application of life in general (especially on my end). Recently, Tony put out an article highlighting his experience implementing the “Bigger Faster Stronger” strength training program and how has related the “PR” model that BFS incorporates into his speed training this year.  Setting a practice or competition PR is powerful, and Tony has great insight on ways to harness this. We also get into topics on coaching phenoms, strength training and the nuts and bolts of a training environment that is maximally conducive to speed building.   Check out Tony's "Feed the Cats" DVD with Championship Productions. Today’s episode is brought to you by SimpliFaster, supplier of high-end athletic development tools, such as the Freelap timing system, kBox, Sprint 1080, and more.   Key Points How “Feed the Cats” and “Rank, Record, Publish” has filtered into football and basketball coaching Recent lessons Tony has gained from training a phenom (Marcellus Moore 10.31 100m dash as a HS sophomore) How kids doing what they like (instead of what they are forced to do) is a game changer How Tony got to his position where he doesn’t utilize weight training for his sprinters and his background in Bigger Faster Stronger Bigger, faster, stronger and the concept of “constant PR’s” in training Tony’s “speed cycle” in sprint training that was inspired by BFS How to maintain dopamine levels through training structure What Tony has been doing with X-Factor training recently Tony Holler Quotes “Prioritize speed #1, prioritize rest #2, those are the two fundamental principles of feed the cats” “(Marcellus) is much smoother, much more consistent.  His top end speed hasn’t improved much, but he holds it a lot better…. He hasn’t missed a race in 2 years… he is the opposite of a flexible kid” “Most of the time, phenoms are the hardest kids to coach” “Cats have fun racing somebody, they have fun running the fastest 10m fly they’ve ever run” “Cats don’t run 3 miles, and they don’t see “now what” either.  They like to get out of practice early” “Kids are really really good at what they like; they wouldn’t cheat it they liked what they did.  They’ll read like crazy if they like what they are reading” “The further away from kids in education you get, the more money you make” “The grind is not the right religion for people; instead we need to get really good at things that we love” “My non-football players don’t lift after practice, but I tell them to do 100 pushups a day.  Looking frail is no way to live your life” “I do like strength, I just don’t see a difference in between kids who lift in their sprinting, and kids who don’t lift in their sprinting, if there was a difference, I would change my mind” “When you micro-dose, you’ll never ruin the next day, and that’s critical to “Feed the Cats” “When we micro-dose in the weight room, we would lift, but we would not lift to soreness… Charlie Francis said you should never be sore fro...

Today’s guest is Tony Holler, Head track coach at Plainfield North High School, Illinois and Co-founder of the Track-Football Consortium in the Chicago area. I’ve known Tony for about 3 years now after meeting for him the first time at the original “Track-Football Consortium”.   Listening to Tony talk about team culture and building sprinters was one of the most memorable aspects of my experiences there, and really keyed me into a different mentality when it came to track practice. Tony has had great success at Plainfield North, including this last year where freshman Marcellus Moore ran 10.40 at the Illinois state track meet, one of the best freshman performances in high school track history.  He is also a chemistry teacher, and has many years of football coaching experience in his belt.  Tony has written some amazing articles over the years on Simplifaster, and formerly, FreelapUSA, on sprint culture, training, and coaching. Tony knows how to make track fun.  When most people think of track, they think of intense speed-endurance and tempo workouts, throwing up after practice, and shin-splints.  Tony’s practices look nothing like this, and they are the antithesis of the long-slow running model, and he gets great results.  His model towards speed training co-incides heavily with former podcast guest Jeff Moyer’s attitude towards training athletes, as we have spoken at length about in the form of strength training. Today’s episode is brought to you by SimpliFaster, supplier of high-end athletic development tools, such as the Freelap timing system, kBox, Sprint 1080, and more. Key Points: A recap of Tony’s last track season and what he learned from Marcellus Moore, the #1 freshman in the United States Tony’s sprint philosophy and its evolution over the years Setting up lactate training throughout the competitive season Approaches to rest and short practices for high school track and field The rationale and idea behind “X-Factor” plyometric and agility workouts Ideas on recording and publishing athletes sprint times Fluctuations in the “mode” of speed training throughout a high-school year Peaking considerations in a “low dose” training system Quotes “Whatever it is that makes people fast, I think (Marcellus’s) feet might be the most important thing” “I’ve always told kids to run fast and loose, and make it look easy, and I’ve quit saying that to Marcellus, because there is nothing loose or easy about the way that he runs” “You don’t change things just because it’s not your stereotypical look (in athletes)” “I started writing down the (40 yard dash) times, ranking them, and putting them up on a bulletin board, which became the most popular bulletin board in the high school” “We never do a lactate workout until the season starts” “In a period of 19 weeks, there is 27 lactate workouts (including meets counting as lactate workouts)” “47.99 wasn’t bad for a junior, there was nothing wrong with him dying a little bit late in the race” “I don’t even know what a tempo workout is!  We don’t say the words tempo, fitness, conditioning in our program” “To me, track and field is all about performance, it’s not about keeping kids until 5pm” “We never practice more than 40 minutes” “There’s no way to say “get your knees up” to a guy running at 10 meters per second” “The record, rank and publish is critical to what we do” About Tony Holler Tony Holler is a teacher and coach at Plainfield North High School. Holler has 35 years experience coaching football, basketball, and track. Holler is a member of Illinois Track & Field Hall of Fame and Co-director of Football-Track Activation Consortium along with Chris Korfist.

Jim Sutton shares with Zeke his remarkable story of still going strong in his 80s. Sutton, 85, has set six world records, 17 national records and won over 50 national championships as a Masters runner. Sutton, who won three state championships as Exeter’s boys cross country coach in the 1960s, also talks with Zeke about his other physical activities such as biking (which he gave up last year after breaking an arm in a crash), 3-to- 4-hour daily gym workouts and wind surfing. Sutton also recounts for Zeke his compelling training sessions with former Olympian middle-distance runners and world-record holders Sebastian Coe of Great Britain and John Walker of New Zealand in the 1970s. Sutton has been inducted into the Berks County Sports Hall of Fame, the Pennsylvania Sports Hall of Fame and the Masters Track and Field Hall of Fame.

This episode comes to you from the Spartan Podfest at last September’s Spartan World Championships, and features Willie Banks. Willie is a former World Record Holder and Olympian, President and CEO of the ANOC World Beach Games and President of the US Olympians. Much of Willie’s fame comes from his innovative approach to sports and his exuberant personality that he brought to track and field competitions.  He is the originator of the now common hand clapping that takes place during many track and field events, which he talks about in true Willie style during our conversation. In 1999, Willie was inducted into the USA National Track and Field Hall of Fame and he still continues to compete to this day.
