I Hired a $5 vs $500 Running Coach!

money isn't everything...

2, 000 likes and I'll train with Dennis for a full month lol

[mikemcdonald]

Not only did Dennis give a good workout, he did so with very limited advice on goals! If adding more specificity for an entire month he may be an incredible coach!

[DennisK-RunningCoach]

@TylerSpeers I thought you were a sprinter. Let's try to make you another program for longer distances!

[tyhoover]

Professional coach here: first workout was great for a long sprinter starting their season, or even for a distance runner like yourself to get some speed training in. The % changes should probably be based on 200m PR time. Be neat to see you train more speed/sprint work see what you could get your 200 down to. If you could get to 25/26 in the 200 while still maintaining a weekly mileage of 50+ I’d bet you could crush a 5K/10K and if you had the mileage even your marathon time would drop. Proven with a past friend/athlete of mine who’s at 2:17 marathon

4 to 6 minutes rest between 90%+ sprint efforts is absolutely correct

[nothingness]

The $5 workout was a sprint workout...nothing distance runners would ever do. The $25 workout was a mid distance workout. The $500 could be done for a great many things, as a last prerace workout for a distance run or a mid distance workout

Getting specific workouts are great, but a good coach you'd pay more than the $15 for would get to know you and your goals better to design a more individualized plan. It's hard to rank these without a greater context of who these coaches are.

[fcscouto]

for that 4x200m workout, you aren't supposed to jog back to the 200m start, that ruins the rest you're supposed to give your legs inbetween sets, you just start where you finished your last rep.

Take a shot every time he talks about his marathon 💀💀💀💀💀

As a coach for the last 25 years, I would to say that: whatever amount of money you paid it was too much if any coach agreed to give you a single session without first asking about your strenght, weakness, current fitness level, goals, and so on. Then, a single training session has in itself absolutely no value or effect. I can give you any session and being right telling you it is the best ever... for somebody at some time; but that same session would also be...the worst for someone at some time! The fact is, here, that the best builded session was the first one, but that's the kind of stuff that would either suits a sprinter or a middle-distance guy prepared for that after a gradual build-up (that said, that is not what a would consider a big very hard session: it's only normal speed/sprint stuff. On another hand, the most expensive one is so simple that this is the kind of thing I would suggest (and charge) with a little of irony to anyone insisting on buying a single session instead of something more complete, useful (in other words: "you wan't something stupide? You really want me to do only that, to sell you something that makes no sense ? Ok, so pay: 500$! When you'll want real coaching and not only a clip bait video you'll have my number so then we could talk!") That said, sorry, but doing random training sessions for the fun of it is not serious. Well, was still fun to watch!

I liked the idea of the video, but I thought it would’ve been better if you specified the race distance. These workouts seemed to be more geared towards 3k and below.

Bros mustache made him go from a middle schooler to a high schooler in 2 videos

[bradleywall]

One of my favorite workouts is 15 min warm up, 25x400m at 5k-10k pace, 30 second rest intervals, and 15 min cool down. For me, this is 400m in 90sec and 30sec rest, so 2 min go’s.

[KidCodyRunning]

Should have thrown in an ai workout plan as an honorable mention

[TRONMAGNUM]

Coach Dennis gave you a pretty good sprint workout. He obviously knows what he is doing. The 500 workout was a ripoff.

[ethanlecroy]

The goat is back, but bruh out here lookin like fat Thor

[Hakaimono]

Actually I'm a sprinter and the workout is crazy. I am in 7th grade and what I do is a half mile warmup or so and then some sort of ladder normally with equal recovery.

The fact that nobody showed up in person means its not worth it.
This logic, I can use bolts youtube video, and bolt as a coach is worth tens of thousands
