Mammoth TC WOW - Marathon Prep

Great vid. Spilts are always nice but I agree that it would have been tough to get them on a workout that runs point to point and so many other people running on the road as well.

WOW!!! so you get the privelage to go out and film/talk to some of the best marathoners in the country and you give us back no splits and horrible camera work. Shouldnt such an important task be left to someone who knows what their doing? and dont give me this hes trying crap, flotrack is one of the only running websites out their and its filming is left in the hands to someone who probably couldnt pass a middle school av class

will scotty run club cc this year?

Thanks once again for sharing "the amazing" with us, we appreciate everything you do! Great music choice as well :)

This is the dumbest training I've ever heard. Why would someone ever do quick, high intensity stuff for 5/10k first and then switch over to a base/marathon style of training in the last 12 weeks? It doesn't make sense. Hall drops out of the New York because he's doing base training right up until his marathon, when your legs are going to feel tired and not rested. Can someone please clarify what the point of this training program is? Logic tells me that when training for any type of event, the idea is to get a big base in, and as race time gets closer, reduce volume and increase intensity followed by a taper. Maybe this is why this whole training group doesn't win any medals anymore and just is burned out and slow when it counts.

great video!!, what's with all the negativity?! @Anonymous Coward get a grip son! @Me sorry but isn't Hall only the record holder at half marathon, I'm pretty sure he's second on the full marathon list?(I cud be wrong tho) Thanks 4 the Vid KEVIN, its nice to see how the otherhalf live!! Man I wish I had talent and speed

Ok I was being cranky and nitpicky about the lack of splits/shaky camera this morning.. Still a great WO!

@ anonymous coward: there is no track in Mammoth so thats why all the training is on the road. I do believe Deena & Co. are working on it though and they are expecting to break ground on a track facility on it next year

Great video. Almost reminds me of a college team with all the people around doing workouts. Group training at its best!

I couldn't care less about the shaky camera work, Kevin; you could turn the camera upside down and I'd still watch and enjoy this. Thanks; appreciate your efforts.

@Anonymous Coward

Also, and not to be too nitpicky here, but in addition to what Craig pointed out about your post, Hall dropped out of Chicago, not New York... so... there's that, too...

Great job Flotrack (as always)!
Why do the MTC guys do all their sessions on the road???

The Deaf Pilots perform both songs in this WOW. My apologies for not reporting splits and the shaky camera. All were running point-to-point, and I was on my bike just trying to stay out of the way as runners came from both directions.
