Carrie goes for a run with Team USA Minnesota runner Katy Jermann! They chat about her upcoming race at the Olympic Marathon Trials, her work as a teacher, and how she's worked through her history of injury.

As I sit down with Coach Lundo I jump right into a pressing matter of the summer - how to acclimate to the heat. He shares a tip he's had his runners in Minnesota use to do a winter to summer acclimation as well as how long he usually sees it take for real heat acclimation to occur. I ask him about how he came to running and he tells me about revelations he had as a kid about where his talents lay versus where his dreams wanted to take him. We then talk about his transition from shorter endurance races to post collegiate competition in the marathon resulting in his 3 olympic trial appearances. I pose to him a simple question: if sprinting is largely genetic, is long distance running also genetic or is it more trainable? In the middle of my talk with Coach Lundo I ask him about his work as head coach of Team USA Minnesota - how does he recruit athletes and what are their daily lives like? In an effort to help feel better about my own collegiate career being constantly sidetracked by injuries I ask Chris whether his time at Stanford was derailed at all by injury - his answer was at least a little comical. I ask him about one of his graduate research studies where he hoped to figure out how to accurately predict an athlete's marathon time through shorter distance testing. In the last segment of my talk with Coach Lundo I ask him about another study he conducted where he tested to see if there were any significant effects of using plyometrics for recreational runners training for a marathon. We talk a little about the problems with athletic studies - the shortfalls that are somewhat necessary and errors he sees in other studies that occur. A new study he's helping facilitate with a grad student seeks to verify data that's not easily attributed, but often cited from hillrunner.com As our talk winds down Chris shares a short, but funny story about adventures in modifying the default setup of a treadmill to accommodate marathon training for hilly courses.

Welcome to Episode 59 of the Final Surge Podcast where today we welcome legendary coach Dennis Barker. Dennis was the long-time coach of Team USA Minnesota where his athletes achieved 75 top 3 finishes in US Championships and 29 different athletes made world championships teams. We talk about some fundamentals of training and his new book The River Road.   How did you get your start in running? You founded Team USA Minnesota in 2001, at that time there was Team Hanson, Mammoth, maybe Oregon Project around that time, how has that team aspect lead to a resurgence in American distance success? We were solid in the 70’s and 80’s, and we have had this resurgence, what happened in the 90’s where the US fell off the map so badly? USATF teaches a strict periodization where coaches such as Salazar do more year-round training, how have you seen that change? You mentioned you ran a lot of local races. If you look at local 5k/10k runners, how should they structure their year of training? How does a coach who has coached 29 World qualifiers move to high school coaching? How is training different besides just the volume? Your new book The River Road is a novel, the running community had Once A Runner, was your goal to write the next great running novel? As you wrote this you got the chance to think about the last 30-40 years of running. What has changed the most over that time?

I try to listen to your requests for podcast guests. One request that comes up often is to interview other coaches who are interested in sharing their coaching philosophies. Another is to hear from elite athletes to find out what life is like for them. In this interview we will be doing both.
