How can high school athletes unlock their potential and become excellent runners? In Consistency Is Key, veteran coach Jay Johnson, drawing from 25 years of experience coaching high school, collegiate, and professional runners, helps young athletes understand how to realize their potential and race fast.
Through 15 essential keys to success, Johnson breaks down the fundamentals of running that apply to both cross country and track and field. From building your aerobic engine to strengthening your chassis, from mastering the art of recovery to understanding the importance of sleep and nutrition, each chapter provides practical, actionable guidance for young runners.
What makes this book unique? Unlike most running books that get bogged down in exercise physiology, Consistency Is Key offers clear, straightforward advice that high school runners can immediately put into practice. Johnson emphasizes that while there are many paths to success, certain fundamentals must always be in place.
The 15 keys include:
- Remember That Talent and Excellence Are Not the Same Thing
- Build Your Attention Span for Hard Work
- Know That Progress Is Not Linear
- Understand There Are Dozens of Ways to Train
- Build Your Aerobic Engine
- Strengthen Your Chassis
- Rev the Engine Most Days
- Run by Feel
- Do Easy Days Easy and Hard Days Hard
- Practice Race Pace (or Faster)
- Know You Could Have Gone Farther or Faster (or Both)
- Practice Running Fast, Faster, Fastest
- Remember to Sleep
- Don't Forget Nutrition
- Listen to Your Body
This second edition includes three valuable bonus chapters covering Mental Skills, Health Science, and Recruiting. Plus, you'll get an inside look at some of the country's most successful programs through team profiles of Nike Cross Nationals powerhouses Niwot High School, Mountain Vista High School, American Fork High School, and Naperville North High School.
Whether you're new to competitive running or aiming for the podium, Consistency Is Key provides the framework you need to reach your potential as a high school runner.
