Podcast 015 – Dr. Jeff Messer (rebroadcast)

Dr. Jeff Messer is both a high school coach and an exercise physiologist.  He is widely recognized as one of the best high school coaches in the country.

This interview is a rebroadcast of an interview between myself and Dr. Messer from my old CoachJayJohnson.com podcast.  At the time of that recording Dr. Messer was coaching at Xavier College Prep; he now coaches at Desert Vista, both in the Phoenix, AZ.

Dr. Messer has presented at the Boulder Running Clinics.  You can watch excerpts from his presentations for free on YouTube (this video in ice baths is good) or you can purchase the entire presentation – both video and audio files – at BoulderRunningClinics.com.

Jeff is a fantastic human and I’m lucky to count him as a friend.  I hope you enjoy listening to the interview as much as I enjoyed recording it.

Listen to the podcast on iTunes or listen to it on Stitcher if you have an Android device.

If you like the podcast please leave a review on the iTunes page. Thanks!

Podcast 025 – Dr. Jeff Messer clinic exerpts

This podcast contains the first parts of Dr. Jeff Messer’s presentations at the August 3rd, 2013 Boulder Running Clinics.  His two presentations, titled “Alberto Salazar’s Method: My Humble Attempt to Apply that Method to High School Cross-Country/Track and Field” and “Endurance Training: Current Science and Application to Training Program Design” were a hit with the attendees.  While the clinic was aimed at high school coaches, the majority of the content applies to all runners and coaches, as you’ll hear in this podcast.  You can view short video clips from the clinic here.

Please join the Boulder Running Clinics mailing list as we will be releasing special content next week, as well as the deepest discounts on the videos.

As always, you can listen to these podcasts via the iTunes feed.  If you have time to rate the podcast on iTunes I would be greatful.

Enjoy!

Should Runners Static Stretch?

Static Stretching has been a staple of running training for several decades. But is static stretching good runners?

This is an excerpt from Dr. Jeff Messer‘s presentation “Endurance Training: Current Science and Application to Program Design” from the 08.03.13 Boulder Running Clinic.  I think this is a great example of someone like Dr. Messer taking a closer look at a published paper to see if the findings of the paper actually apply to runners.  Maybe they do, maybe they don’t.

All of the videos from the 08.03.13 clinic will be available later this month at BoulderRunningClinics.com.
