To all your CC runners/supporters out there (if there are any on this board). What makes kids from The Woodlands, College Park, SLC, etc such successful runners? I have a son who is decent (sub 16 minutes in 5k) who wants to run in college. I feel he was not taught and trained properly in HS by his coaches, i.e. little mention of nutrition, mental toughness, etc. How important is nutrition in y'all training and what is the single best way to shave time off a 5k or 3 mile run? Any serious help would be appreciated.
