The Oregon Project

Bill Squires started a training group in Boston almost 50 years ago. Many of the worlds greatest marathoners emerged from The Greater Boston Track Club. Kirk Pfrange trained and raced with these world class athletes. At that time, he met 15 year old Alberto Salazar. He invited Alberto to the GBTC workouts and a another brilliant running career began.

Kirk moved to Atlanta and started an elite youth club called the Athlete's Foot Juniors. County, Region, State & National champions emerged from this group.

Years later, Alberto started The Oregon Project. Saturday and Sunday the Oregon Project Athletes won two Golds and a Bronze in the Olympics.

These groups have remained in contact through the decades. Kirk calls me weekly and still talks to Squires and Alberto.

Much of the training methods we use come straight from the top. The Oregon Project figured out long ago that an American can not out run an East African. But an American can out work an East African and win with superior fitness. Many of the training methods used by the Oregon Project are done daily at Boot Camp. Superior Fitness combined with precise running  produces speed with endurance.
