Средние и длинные дистанции
The training of cross-country runners should be
characterised by variety. Important training contents
are fartlek, hill training and long, continuous running.
Track training for middle and long-distance runners
should be event-specific. Variation in training means
to develop all bio-motor abilities: speed, strength,
endurance, and flexibility. Coaches should act
according to the so-called DIRT (“Duration, Intensity,
Rest, Time”) principle, according to which training
duration, training intensity, the rest periods and
the time of the repetitions and training sessions
should be at the centre of attention.

A graphical model for interval training
New Studies in Athletics, 18, (2003), 3, pp. 49-55
The author proposes a model of the dynamic link
between the components of an interval training session.
It has several practical applications on a pedagogical
level and for planning sessions and developing
training programmes in aerobic sports,
including cross country, middle and long distance
running, in which maximal aerobic power, aerobic
endurance and anaerobic capacity are key performance
factors.
3 Young athletes and distance running
Hatfield, I.
Distance running and the young athlete
Modern Athlete and Coach, 46, (2008), 2, pp. 5-7
Whether the athlete is 8 or 14 it is important to
develop proper technique to ensure efficient and
economical running. In those early years from 8 to
14, programmes and activities should be fun and
varied and this needs to be emphasised in place of
winning. An athlete of 8 or 9 years does not have a
long concentration span and so sessions and
activities do not need to be complex or demanding
but instead interesting, imaginative and varied. For
8 year old athletes two training sessions per week
are sufficient. Most athletes at this stage will have
other activities at school and home and possibly be
involved in other sports. Athletes should be
encouraged to participate in other sports, especially
team sports as this builds comradeship and
responsibilities. One session per week should be a
speed training session, while the other session
should be devoted to games and activities. Both
sessions should be introduced by a warm-up and
specific drills. The author describes both sessions
in detail.
Hatfield, I.
Distance running and the young athlete
Modern Athlete and Coach, 46 (2008), 3, pp. 5-6
The author presents training sessions for 11 and 14
year old middle distance runners. It is suggested
that two training sessions per week is sufficient for
11 year old athletes, however if they are more
experienced
with extra training years, a third session is
appropriate. At this age some strength building
exercises could be given to the athlete. Basic exercises
such as push ups, running arms, sit ups, and
other body weight exercises especially to target the
abdominal and lower back region (core strength) are
appropriate. An important issue to stress is that the
exercises will help prevent injury. The training sessions
presented are an endurance and a games and
activities session. For 14-year-old athletes three
training sessions per week is appropriate. In addition
to the speed and endurance session these athletes
also do a speed endurance session, which
includes hill runs, fartlek, and interval runs.

Improving talent identification and development
in young distance runners
New Studies in Athletics, 23, (2008), 3, pp. 35-48
The article explores ways to minimise or eradicate
health risks related to athletic training by ensuring
the best possible choice of athletic discipline in
young distance runners. It uses testing and monitoring
to learn more about the athletes’ natural
development, their training characteristics, their
health and psychological status, and their future
possibilities. It aims to offer a conclusion as to what
degree each athlete was suited for a particular athletic
event.

Can children and adolescents run
marathons?
Sports Medicine, 37, (2007), 4/5, pp. 299-301
There are few data on youth marathon runners and
the most commonly asked questions of “can children
run marathons?” and “what are the health
consequences?”
remain unanswered. Expert opinion is
split with regard to running this distance at a young
age. There have been many thousands of finishers
