In this episode of the ‘On Coaching’ podcast, hosts Steve Magness and Jon Marcus discuss the importance of consistency in training and coaching. They delve into how simple, repetitive actions over time foster the capacity to achieve larger goals. Highlighting historical examples such as the training logs of Jack Lovelock, they emphasize the value of understanding history and adapting it to modern techniques. The episode also covers the significance of setting small, attainable milestones and celebrating them to keep athletes motivated. Magness and Marcus suggest ways to make the routine exciting and underscore the role of the coach in creating an environment that values consistent effort over sporadic, high-intensity workouts. They conclude by inviting listeners to join the Running Scholar program for deeper insights and continuous discussion.
