Coach Joe Eby and Coach Josh Fiorentino of Baldwin Wallace University Cross Country and Track & Field break down how their threshold training philosophy has changed over the years — and why.
In this episode of Relaxed and Fast, the coaches cover:
•How BW's threshold workouts have evolved from early-career approaches to today
•The shift from fixed pace to individualized, effort-based threshold work
•How continuous vs. broken threshold sessions are used differently now
•Why lactate awareness and perceived effort matter more than a stopwatch
•Practical threshold workout examples coaches and athletes can apply
Whether you're a high school recruit trying to understand college-level training, a parent wanting to know what "threshold" actually means, or a coach building your own program, this episode gives real, specific insight into distance training philosophy.
