McMillian Elite Workout, Quarters @ 7,000ft - Episode #5

that was a pretty cool video.

you guys should try doing the workout of quenton cassidy. 60 400's with full recovery but at 62-63 seconds. watch out for bloody urine after your done lol

i just posted the link to the music in the description, sorry about leaving that out

What's the name of the song during the workout?

they got a 53sec. 400 split for their last 400m??? craziness..

haha that was so awesome. great workout, and hilarious video too

I'd do this same workout in HS, but I was at 4500ft and I'd take 400m recovery between reps, and only the last 2 would be fast. Obviously this is a much harder workout.

Bunky stole this workout from me twenty two years ago.

I love these McMillan group workouts, not only are they awesome but they are usually pretty funny too. Keep em comin'

The explanation for why he had them doing the "hammer interval" was ed.

Is Andrew Middleton still training with McMillan Elite?

haha, Matt Clark you freaking crack me up

...Because he CAN! Flats and baggy shorts and t-shirt and still wins it. hahahaha nice

Spoken like a true "letsrun.com"-er

no

that tracks nothing compared to arkansas

Can we see some more women workouts too?!?!? That would be great...

McMillanElite does have a women's team. Check out the website. They just had a different workout that day based on racing schedules.

I thought McMillan had a women's team, do they workout at different times/days?

This brings back tons of memories from back in the day. Puking!, Rocking intervals, dodging basketballs during intervals, watching people suck air at meets. The elevation isn't so bad when you train there year round. NAU just isn't the same since coach Mann left.

these guys are clowns! I love it! especially the ending! haha! have to bring your huevos!!!

really nice track.

The dome is an indoor basketball facility, 300m mondo track, football field, graduation venue, seats 15,000, holds the NAU athletic department offices, and was at one time the largest wood structured dome in the world. Just in case you wanted to know...

That is one awesome indoor complex

Why is Fagan wearing racing flats and no racing vest in that 3k? why is he even running indoors? Good video & workout tho

people commeting don't be so freaking picky about the type of workout or that u don't like it, etc... we're lucky we have this website and guys who love track and will post wo videos like this. many teams prolly aren't so willing ot have their workouts taped for all to see. for example, notice no oregon xc wo's or alan webb wo's....we're lucky we get hi-quality elites like the above one.

really good video & work out

Jordan Horn is super cute

It is a 300m track

hahaha his voice cracked at 4:08

can we see some women running, please?!

great workout

I

is that a 400m track?

a couple days after this workout, martin fagan went up to the boston valentine invite and won the 3k in 7:57. here's the race:

GO ON MCMILLAN ELITE!!!!!!!! lets see the results now in the comin races.....wont want to be in any sprint finishes against fagan!!!!!i wonder how fast he can go in the last 400 in his next half marathon!(someone shud realli time that!)

And I am just thankful that the Flotrack folks and others who contribute videos take the time to do so. It doesn't matter who we see when or how often. It is just great to now have the opportunity to see this stuff!

we need some workout wednesdays with the NAU distance squad. They have a couple guys who seem to be really rockin right about now.

I don't mind if you guys have like 10 mcmillan elite workouts. I assume other elite teams aren't too open to filming their workouts or maybe not as accessible . I could be wrong about that...

It's a 300m track.

Does anyone know the size of this track?

I read the book The Greatest about Haile and it said that he and the others would do a workout at I think 7000 feet (I may be wrong on the elevation) and did 4X1200's @ 2.55, 4X800 @ 1.55, and 4X400's @ 55. All before a hard tempo run. But yea that is an amazing workout even if they were at sea level

The 7000 ft elevation still doesn't sink in. This is an amazing workout at sea level.........finishing in 53?!

run quarters at 10k pace with hammer quarters thrown in.. i've done this before, my quarters were in 83 and my hammers were 75 :(

Nice video, I liked hearing McMillan yell out the times and instructions.

as soon as i saw the mcmillan video last week about winters in flagstaff i had a feeling workout wednesday was going to be a mcmillan workout.

good workout though keep it up!

favorite part of flotrack right here..

Just sent text to Greg and got details

Workout was:
Martin Fagan
Andrew Lemoncello
Jordan Horn
Cele Rodriguez
Matt Clark
Phil Wharton
Eric Heins (NAU Coach)
Cele now lives permanently in Flagstaff, not Albuq. Born in Mex but is US citizen, former World XC team
200s were just at easy jog (~45 seconds to 1 minute)
Read about Hammer intervals in Scott Simmon's book Take the Lead

Just a little too much McMillan coverage... it's nice to be seeing them workout but I would like to see some more college teams doing some running workouts.

He is from Mexico City originally, but resides officially in Albuquerque when not in Flag.

I mean where is he from and all?

I believe it was Celedonio Rodriguez - Adams State Alum. DII XC and Outdoor 5K Champ back in 2003 / 2004. He has run about 13:36 and 28:40.

whose the short dude who leads on interval 10?

Martin Fagan is THE man.

Martin Fagan is pretty BA

Great workout! Any info on how fast they would do 200 jog?

Another McMillan workout? Don't get me wrong, I appreciate these, but we just had a McMillan workout wednesday back in early December, less than 2 montsh ago! I enjoyed this one, but look forward to mroe variety.

epic workout at 7,000 feet.

glad to see some workouts from the elites again. i love these videos!
