The #1 Mistake High School Distance Coaches Make (It's Not What You Think)

Your athletes are racing aerobically. Why are you training them anaerobically? Most high school distance coaches emphasize max-effort 200s, hard 400s, and time trials — but the research tells a different story. The 800m is 60-70% aerobic. The mile is 77-86% aerobic. The 5K is 90-95% aerobic. So why does so much training look like a sprint workout? In this video, I break down the most common programming mistake I see in middle and high school distance coaching, why it limits long-term development, causes burnout, and keeps athletes from reaching their potential — and what to do instead. What you'll learn: The aerobic energy demands of every common distance race (with actual percentages) Why high-intensity anaerobic work as your primary training stimulus is counterproductive What training intensities actually build the aerobic engine your athletes need How to match your training to the physiological demands of the races your athletes are running Whether you're a coach, a parent of a runner, or an athlete yourself, this is the foundation everything else is built on. Next video: What marathon pace, half marathon pace, 10K pace, and 5K pace actually do physiologically — and how to structure workouts around them. Follow me on X and Instagram: @coach_kevinkuhn
