Stanford WOW - "The Long Run"

Our first workout of Workout Wednesday: Season 5, brings you some insight on one of the most important training runs of any distance runner, especially in cross country. The long run may not have the glitz and glamour of 10x400 under 60, but its something that all runners relate to and use to build a base for a long year of track & field.

The Stanford cross country program has won a combined nine national championships and 24 Pac 10 titles. This year Stanford's squads start the season with respective rankings of 1st and 12th for men and women. This video offers insight into head coach Jason Dunn's program as he enters his 3rd season in Palo Alto. We follow the team on a long run at Sugar Pine Point State Park on the California side of Lake Tahoe. Stanford will race this weekend at home at the 2010 Stanford Invite.
