If you enjoy this episode, consider checking out my ongoing work on The Running Shorts Podcast.

Chris Sauer is the head cross country and distance coach at Long Island University. Last season, his women’s XC team finished second in the Northeastern Conference.

What really stuck out to me during this interview was how much he enjoys watching his athletes compete (more than he enjoyed competing himself), one of the signs of a fully invested coach who truly cares for his athletes.

Tune in to get his thoughts on how workouts should build on each other and why, for example, race pace work needs to be intelligently sparsed out.
