Elite coaching special - Nic Bideau, coach to Craig Mottram
Why complicate the simple?
Nic is quick to scotch ideas of secrets in distance running success. He says the keys are easy to find: “Three books will tell you how to do the training. It’s not like it is incredibly complex. Lydiard was talking about it in the 60s.
“You can look at Lydiard or Harry Wilson. I didn’t invent the stuff that I tell Mottram to do that helps him run well, or Benita Johnson or Sonia. Alan Storey didn’t invent it. In the 1970s Brendan Foster was doing it. I was talking to Dick Quax earlier this year and showed him what Mottram did that week and he said, ‘That’s the same sort of stuff as we did!’”
That said Nic is ready to use the resources that are now available to help an athlete train more effectively and recover properly. It is not about training brutally hard: “We have got heart rate monitors so you can control the pace of training a bit more. You can be more specific on the pace and know when to hold back. I imagine Cram would have gone to the track and run 10x400ms as fast as he could but these days the sessions are set with much more specific targets in mind and controlled so as in general they stay at that level rather allowing athletes to train too hard.
“We have more access to ice baths, physio, recovery drinks and so on. Things like that are better taken care of in the recovery process between training and what you can do to restrict injuries.”
Those looking for something radically different in Craig Mottram's training schedule, or in what the rest of what Nic's camp to will be disappointed. It is about straight forward dedication to the key tasks.
