Then you take over in 2011 and in 2011 your team was 8th at state and since then they had a 3rd, 2nd, and now two firsts. Also I looked at the team size, and it wasn\u2019t like they had a small squad in 2010, so what was the thing that really changed between 2010 and 2011 that allowed the team to make such a huge improvement and remain so consistent.   What changed in the culture?   What is threshold to Matt and how does he use it in his training and off seasons?   What is his pace book?   What does a week look like during the summer?      How has his past running experiences as an elite runner effected his coaching?   You don\u2019t seem to be reinventing the wheel, you seem to be doing the basics and doing it all year around.   How do you take what you know and apply it to a 14-year old girl who maybe had never run before?   Matt talks about how the school system is supportive of all the teams including cross country and how they expect champions.   You are getting over 80 girls, what does a mid-season week look like and how do you break that up with such large numbers?   What do things look like from right before the State meet until the national meet because of the long time period?   What does the taper look like going into the national championship meet?   Minnesota is a great cross country state right now, what makes them so great right now?    Discuss the upcoming trip to NXN ","author_name":"Ben Rosario Show","author_url":"http:\/\/benrosarioshow.libsyn.com\/podcast","html":"
