They will be joined by 2003 National High School Coach of the Year Danny Green, six-time National Coach of the Year Scott Simmons, and author-coach Will Freeman.

The National Distance Running Summit, to be held on the campus of Queens University of Charlotte, is in its third year and continues to bring together some of the most successful and talented coaches in America.

Presentations will explore a wide range of topics including the training of phenom Ryan Hall, how to structure a training program for beginning runners, how to measure and use VVO2Max in training, and how everyone can benefit from altitude training no matter where they live.
