Greg McMillan Chat

Описание: Greg McMillan is an exercise physiologist and distance running coach who until recently coached elite athletes in his own training squad, McMillan Elite. The demands of coaching internationally–ranked athletes year-round were huge, so Greg now works with a broad spectrum of average to sub-elite athletes, and is still enjoying the journey with these less-accomplished athletes who are all dedicated to improving their performance at slightly lower levels.


Greg’s masters’ degree research focused on the determining factors of distance running performance. A student of the sport since he began running in high school, he continues to apply advances in sports science to his training programs. As with his study of sports science, Greg continues to learn from the athletes and coaches of yesterday and today. He vigorously studies the great books on running and is eager to be around successful coaches and athletes to learn from their experiences. His mentors include the late, great Arthur Lydiard (who he toured with on Lydiard’s last US tour), Olympic Coach Dr. Joe Vigil, Peak Running Performance founder Guy Avery, and USA Track & Field physiologist, the late Dr. David Martin.


Greg strongly believes in tuning into the individual athlete’s inherent traits, and we talk about one of his more stunning successes of turning an athlete’s progress completely around once he’d re-examined how the athlete was responding to specific training sessions.
