I love this. Reading Dan's original article about standards was probably the biggest training epiphany of my life, and ever since, I've noticed how often people succeed when they're focused on the goal (meeting standards) instead of the thousand different programs that are all capable of getting them there.

In fact, these standards look quite similar to those from Athletic Truth Group, or kneesovertoesguy, which I've used in the last 4 months to eliminate old knee, ankle, and back issues. All by saying, "Okay, you need to achieve this calf raise standard, then this step-down standard, then this hip flexor standard."

Now, those standards probably won't help anyone win a race. If you can't do it already, then you probably don't have the genetics to be a winner. But if you're just a regular joe, it's nice knowing that if you can do X, your Y won't get tendinitis anymore.
