Podcast 004 – Scott Douglas Interview

Posted on January 5, 2012 by CoachJay

Scott Douglas is not only an editor at Running Times magazine, he’s the co-author of Advanced Marathoning and the author of the new book, The Little Red Book of Running.

I remember reading this series of articles on training in Kenya, thankful that someone had taken the time go to Kenya and write that type of series (though Train Hard, Win Easy is obviously a very good resource as well).

We cover a variety of topics, from ancillary work to the 2012 Olympic Trials in this podcast…and at one point we both give a nod to football coaches who coach track, so listen for that.

Thanks to Scott for taking the time to do this as I really enjoyed the interview.

As with all of the podcasts, you can listen to the podcast in iTunes.

    Listened to this on my jog tonight.  Excellent stuff.  You talk about not having a format, but I think you are doing fine with just it being a conversation at this point.

    Thanks for posting the link Jay, I found the discussion very interesting, looking forward to future podcasts (and I don’t usually listen to many podcasts).

    Glad you enjoyed it.  I hoping that people who don’t usually listen to podcasts decide to take the time to listen to these.  I’m lucky to have the opportunity to learn from theses people, all of whom are passionate about the sport.

    Best of luck with your training.
