In this episode of the On Coaching podcast, Steve Magness and Jon Marcus delve into the current era of training experimentation, inspired by a recent in-depth discussion in the Scholar Program. They explore historical ebbs and flows in training practices, highlighting the 1960s experimentation period, and draw parallels to today’s innovative landscape influenced by super shoes and advanced nutrition. The discussion emphasizes the importance of systematic experimentation, understanding technological impacts, and balancing tradition with new ideas to push performance boundaries. Coaches and athletes are encouraged to test and adapt new methods thoughtfully to optimize training outcomes.
