Oklahoma State Sunday RunOctober 7, 2008 Every Sunday morning, teams of runners gather for one of the most important practices of the week.....the Sunday Long Run. We followed along the #2 ranked Oklahoma State Cowboys on their Sunday Long Run to see what it was like and where they ran. This run was the day after the Oklahoma State Cowboy Jamboree. Even I ran! Get out there for that long run!!

After his collegiate running days… + See More - See Less -Dave Smith's life has not gone as he originally planned. Smith had a successful career at Michigan State, where he was All-Big 10 four times and won the 1993 Big 10 10k. After his collegiate running days came to an end when he graduated from Michigan State in 1993 he decided to try for his masters and then PHD at The University of Washington. While at Washington he helped Coach Greg Metcalf with the mens and womens distance programs but had no real plans of becoming a head coach. In 1998 Smith was offered the head coaching job at Texas Tech, and he decided to try coaching for one year. Smith immediately fell in love with coaching and he has not looked back since. From 1998 to 2000 Smith was a busy man when he was not coaching at Texas Tech he was working on his PHD from Washington, and in 2000 all his hard work paid off when he earned his PHD in pharmacology. In 2002 Smith became an assistant coach at Oklahoma State and he has made an immediate impact. In 2005 just three years after Smith?s arrival the cowboys surprised the nation when they finished 8th at cross country nationals. Smith?s success did not go unnoticed, after the 2006 season Smith was named head men?s cross country coach. Smith?s first year as head cross coach he guided the Cowboys to their second straight top ten finish at NCAAs. Since 1998 Smith has coached two NCAA champs, 14 All-Americans and 12 big-12 champions. |

Edit: I SPY THE DH
though if your being interviewed it would seem polite to turn them off for a second or two

Anyone know the song at the start?
Pdx: how is these roads crap?
"long run after a day of recovery", finally someone that understands the concept of recovery, I agree with the pace you mentioned, my only concern was the OSU guys running that pace for a long run the day after a race, if they had taken Sun as an easy recovery day and then ran their long run at sub 6min pace it would have made more sense to me
they'll learn.
for your sake I hope your measurements on your long run routes are short (obviously they are!!!) or why were you not in Beijing competing because only an elite/world class runner would consider running 6min pace on a training run, come on get real
i didnt say i disliked ok state,
i didnt say anything bad.
alli asked was to get more in depth behind the scene
coverage on some other up and coming teams. like portland, alabama, etc.
we all know oregon and ok state are dominant, and we see a lot of them.
but to call me B**** cause i asked, isnt that a little overboard?
my point was for a sub 13/sub 27 guy recovery is around 6:00-6:20 pace and correct me if I am wrong but the OSU runners are nowhere near these times so therefore they are running too fast for a recovery run, why not one or two real easy runs on Sun and then do the longer steady run on Mon
Portland by the way is a legit contender, they're currently ranked fourth right now and Kinsella and Kipchumba are leading a good team. Also there's not a lot on Portland either.
p.s. Nice freaking i-pod German.
Great Job you and Flotrack are doing! Keep it up.

second, who cares if they run with music. they are running upwards of 2 hours, maybe they like to jam out. is it really that big of a deal.
third, at some track meets they play music while races are being run...look at all the meets from europe that flotrack covered. those were awesome with the music
