Announcement
In 2010, Mascenic high school coach Mike Smith volunteered his services to the Milers to oversee Wednesday night track workouts at Conval High School from April to October, starting at 6PM. While many programs revolve around running repeats of 400, 800 and 1600 meter intervals, faster than race pace and with a timed rest period, Smith's program focuses on active recovery and continuous work at 5K pace. Considering most adults only race down to the 5K distance, goal pace at that distance is an excellent pacing regime for all distances beyond 5K.
The success of his program has shown proven results. He has coached more than twenty individual state champions as well as five state championship teams in cross country, the most recently in 2014. He was recognized in 2006 as the women's cross country coach of the year, and again in 2014 as the men's coach of the year by the NHCCCA. His teams performance in 2014 was also strong enough to garner him the NH's men's coach of the year by the US Track and Field and Cross Country Coaches Association. He currently competes over a range of distances, 5K to marathon. He lives in New Ipswich with his wife, Gretchen, and his two daughters, Victoria and Amelia, and trains all over the region trying to stay one step ahead of them.
See you on the track, April through September.
