Step inside the mind of world-class endurance coach Mike Scannell as he pulls back the curtain on what it takes to train, execute, and thrive at the highest levels of distance running. In this comprehensive course, Scannell breaks down the razor-thin margins of error in elite competition, offering exclusive, lap-by-lap tactical analyses of Grant Fisher’s Olympic medal-winning performances in the 10,000m and the chaotic 5,000m. Beyond race-day strategy, you will dive deep into the cutting-edge science of altitude adaptation and blood diagnostics. Scannell demystifies how to read critical biomarkers—such as hematocrit, hemoglobin, ferritin, and the testosterone-to-cortisol ratio—empowering coaches to perfectly tailor training intensities, monitor recovery, and prevent overtraining before it starts.
