Episode 27- on the couch with the coach- Rod Griffen

Rod Griffen is a prominent Australian distance running coach hailing from Ballarat. He has coached for 30 plus years, having coached 2 of the past 3 Australian men 10,000m record holders- Collis Birmingham and Stewart McSweyn amongst many other amazing athletes. In this episode Rod portrays the friendly, approachable and relaxed nature that I feel has made him such a successful coach. He generously shares some great insight into what he believes makes for a good coach, some of his favourite 1500m sessions, some great yarns about his coaching experiences and much more! Thanks Rod for a ripper of an interview! Apologies for the occasional drop outs in audio- Skype was playing up.
