Timo Mostert is one of the best high school coaches in the country. Timo’s boys at American Fork HS (Utah) have been a force to contend with at the regional and national level since 2009. At the 2020 RunningLane XC National Championships they set the national record for fastest average 5K at 15:00.99. Timo has also coached 22 individual state champions including Casey Clinger, the 2015 and 2016 NXN champion. He credits all this success to a change in his training methods, a change (or return to his roots rather) that was inspired in large part by the work of the legendary Arthur Lydiard. We spoke at length about his own running career, his mentors in the sport, and his interpretation of Lydiard training.

Update: Timo’s boys wound up finishing 5th in the country at NXN in 2022. He was awarded coach of the year.
