I received the following via email from a great coach in New Mexico, Jorge Otero. "Very cool routine, Coach! I can't wait to try it with my kids. I noticed, as you did, that during the supine plank your athletes had their hips a little low. I thought I would share with you a cue I give my runners (middle schoolers and high schoolers) when doing supine planks. I have them look up at the sky while doing these. My athletes, when they first start doing supine planks, tend to look at their feet and I feel this forces their hips down. If they look up at the sky, it's easier for them to keep that straight line from their shoulders to their feet. What do you think? Do you agree with this cue? Thanks for the awesome videos." I agree 100%. FANTASTIC cue. I will use it with my athletes. ...and this is a great example of why I need to share with I do. I get feedback that can help me coach my athletes more effectively. So thanks Coach Jorge!
Wow, I was looking for something practical but wouldn't take all day to complete. I really enjoyed it and am glad you had them do it in real time as it made it easier to follow along.
Glad you liked the real time aspect. Some of the new videos won't be in real time as they would take 15-20 min, but this one works well. Goal is to get through it twice for a total of 10 min. I coach people in their 40s and 50s who do that after their workouts and long runs.
LOL. That was a good burn at just 5 but I guess I'll step it up next time and repeat. I'm looking forward to checking out your other videos. Thanks for posting.
Hey coach, how does static stretching fit in to your program? Do you have static stretching after SAM and/or core work? Any videos or articles on specific stretching routines?
You should check out the SAM videos (google SAM and my name) and then follw that for your hard days and easy days. You can replace the core strength work in SAM Phase 1 and SAM Phase 2 with Core X. So you would end up doing it on your hard days, so 2-3 times a week.
I'm curious to know how much did Macklin Chaffey "progress" in his run times, after doing this for 18mos under your tutelage, as u stated in your video, "there was 'no way' he could've done these 18mos ago." (what were his approximate run times &/or distances that we may consider all that's invested w/ these.....pls)
Roughly 3:42 to 3:39 in the 18-24 months we worked together (I forget how long I coached him). He's talented, and he was really weak musculoskeletally. Was strong when he ran 3:39. Obviously strong core and strong hips don't lead to 3:39 for most people, yet it's silly to think that strengthening those areas doesn't relate to performance. And he ran a lot of good road miles. Thanks for the question!

I’ve been using this for years! Love it.
Alright!
My gym teacher made us do this in 7th grade
Great job jay, I'll add this in to my running routine :)
How is it going?
I love this.
thanks for this!
You're welcome!
Great stuff Jay!
Magnific work!

Hello, how many times per week? Thank you!!
You should check out the SAM videos (google SAM and my name) and then follw that for your hard days and easy days. You can replace the core strength work in SAM Phase 1 and SAM Phase 2 with Core X. So you would end up doing it on your hard days, so 2-3 times a week.
Would love a list of all the exercises so I don't have to watch it every time ;)
Thanks for the feedback. Nice to see it in real time, correct?
Samantha Gattsek Create a list on your phone. Easy peasy.
coachjayjohnson Yes, watching it in real time really helps. Keep up the great work.
