The eternal debate continues. What's more important, strength or speed?

The boys first find that even defining the terms is difficult, and spend too much time figuring out what qualifies as strength and what is speed. You would think that after all that discussion, that they'd come to a consensus on the terminology, but then you'd be wrong. They do not.

In the end, did they come to a conclusion about what is better? Absolutely not, it's a LOT of middle of the road takes here.

Dylan then presents some fun coaching scenarios and the talk turns on how they would each handle a number of different situations including; how to help a runner who is stuck in a run and not improving, and working with a "blank slate" athlete.
