How to Train & Coach for the High School 1600m/Mile

Lower Your 1600m/Mile Time this Spring.

The Mile Training Book - Workouts, training schedule, racing strategy - Here's what the State champions did, what they didn't do. How they trained and how they raced.  No theories, no opinions. Just the facts. Just the truth.
Ohio High School State Mile Champions
What They Did To Win The State Title
How 17 runners conditioned and trained to run a 4:10 1600m - Plus the great 4 minute high school milers, Liquori and Ryun. How they trained and raced in high school.

We put together a day by day five month training program that includes racing and tapering. The three laws of racing the mile. True race day strategy that you can use, not just anecdotal stories.
 

New 3rd Edition 2016
Race Strategy & How the Sub4 High Schoolers Trained
The previous two editions of this book left off at tapering for the big race. Now we have what to do on race day. We spent a lot of time on analyzing past races of the mile and 1500m, plus we've interviewed some of the great ones that broke 4 minutes in high school - Marty Liquori, Tim Danielson, Alan Webb and high school teammates of Jim Ryun. And from this we've created the Three Laws of Racing the Mile. Hope you enjoy and find beneficial Marty and Jim's high school workouts.

"Read it my junior year in high school. My coach showed it to me to get me inspired in the winter. It worked!  After reading the great runners in Ohio's past, I really got after it that spring!"

Danny Neff - 2008/2009 State 1600m Champ
An author who has a passion for and stands behind what he writes. Get yourself a copy! I have couple of them myself. Thanks for the insights Chuck!"
Phil Mogus - Revere HS Track and Field Coach

"Your book arrived last evening and I could not put it down. I am very impressed with the time you must have spent putting this together. What a valuable tool for track coaches."
D. Emeott  - High School Men's Track and Field Coach
and its not just for the boys...
I can say that after reading Chuck Bridgman's book it not only has changed my running but it helped me obtain a state title like I always wanted, which is why I would recommend this book to everyone who wants to improve their running or become a state champion.

Here's what they did, what they didn't do.  How they trained and how they raced.  No theories, no opinions.  Just the facts.  Just the truth.
We start in 1964 with a runner who played high school football and basketball and then set two state meet records in the mile and half mile on the same day. We'll finish in the new Jesse Owens stadium with the only runner to win three 1600m titles. In between we talk to Olympic gold medal winners and others that didn't start running track till they were juniors.
By finding out what the winners did, this book looks to answer the question, what does it takes to win the state mile. Workouts, dual meets, winter running, tapering, eating, weight training. What's important, what's not.
