Jacob Hernandez gears up for his last few races in his first professional season during some "downtime" overseas during the European Championships. Jacob has run consistently in the low 1:47s this season and has raced well, but he is looking to get back down to the 1:45s we shown back when he won the NCAA title in 2008. JHern will race in Ninove, Belgium in his next 800 where he will face another former NCAA Champ, Tyler Mulder.

Could you somehow do a GTK Ryan Ponsonby in the future to help get a coach's perspective on the season in Europe through the developing of training workouts, helping with race strategy, and working with the world's best athletes? |

Is this how the Pros train? We did workouts which were worse in high school. Ladders at near race pace. I think the only things which he did fast were the 600 and the 400. A 25.2 200m for Christ's sake.Do you think this might mean that you are training too hard? Thousands of guys could do that workout. Only 50 or so go 1;45 in any one year. |

I am glad that the warmup stretches were included. Having had hamstring problems last few years, I learned some new routines. |

the one on his right shoulder is a longhorn; the one on his left back is like his skin ripped open looks like a machine, because he is a machine! |

JH would greatly benefit by bringing his elbows down and back and his hips slightly forward, opening up his stride instead of attenuating it. Seb Coe was the master of this. |

Now that was the best WOW in a long time. Someone really rollin'. No block work, no easy run, no 400's at the same pace over and over. I am a little biased toward the 8 though. Loved it! |

A 25.2 200m for Christ's sake.Well for one his coach said that they have been loading him with a lot of hard stuff in the past couple weeks, so remember that this is just a piece of the bigger picture and not necessarily meant to be killer or anything. Also, why does there have to be the assumption that an elite runner would have to be doing something so much more intelligent or intense than everyone else in order to reach the level they are at? With all the studies that have been done, training isn't really guesswork, it's pretty much a proven science at this point. They know what they are doing. The bottom line is that the best athlete's rise to the top and he is one of them. His coach clearly understands the process and whatever his philosophy is it must be working, because he has a whole list of guys and girls in that group having great success. The purpose of this workout didn't appear to be fitness gains, but more just getting the feeling both physically and mentally of running hard, fast, and smooth when you're a little fatigued. It was more "rep" work than "interval" work. |

Well for one thing his coach was saying how they had been loading him up with a lot of hard work over the past few weeks, so just because this one workout doesn't seem hard enough for you, it doesn't mean that his total accumulation of work isn't difficult. We are just seeing one piece of the whole big picture when you watch a WOW. I also don't understand why there is this perception that elite runners must be doing things that are just so much more brutal or intelligent than non elite runners. Why can't it ever just be that training is training and the bottom line is that they are just better than you and me? There isn't much guesswork in training these days, with all the studies that have been done over the years. The best athletes simply rise to the top. And if you are following a training philosophy that has been proven to work then you know that like his coach said this one was meant just to get his legs feeling fast, even when he's tired, not to necessarily make any fitness gains. |

and a 25.2 200 meter pace translates into a 140:8 800 meter, which nobody has ever run. It was a decent workout for Jacob. He doesn't have to run like Bolt. |

A 25.2 200m for Christ's sake.Hernandez is a beast and that WAS a crazy tough workout. His 1000m interval could have won most high school state indoor championships. You probably wouldn't have even made it to the 200m interval. He did the whole workout alone. |

A 25.2 200m for Christ's sake.You also worked harder than he is or would running a "similar" workout. Going to the well doesn't consistently or even accurately reflect fitness in a workout. You have to be smart about what you are doing otherwise you are just racing a workout and what's the point |

Obviously the mid-d guys lift as part of training. How do they get that lifting in while in Europe? Part-time mebership to local fitness club? Or is lifting over with in this part of racing season? |
