I recently received and e-mail that read: Quote: Hey Sam, My name is Joe Carnegie, I am a personal trainer. I develop a training program, that will drop your mile easy. My speed and speed endurance program, is $40 a month. If you get this, e-mail me back today. Joe Carnegie http://jo5000.webs.com Can anyone tell me a little bit more about this guy? I'm guessing he saw my post on LetsRun earlier today, but still it's a little odd, kinda sounds like a scam. |

His comma splices alone would prevent me from ever listening to what he says. |

He is a fast master's runner, but doesn't appear to be the sharpest spike on the track, based on his LRC posts. |

He often posts on LRC I've seen him around. |

He often makes posts touting his PRs and his 'coaching', but rarely offers any advice that could be construed as demonstrating any sort of coaching philosophy or experience. |

Carnegie don't give out free information. He have over a 115 members on his running site. |

A whole 115, huh? Wow, his top-secret information must be mind-boggling. :/ |

Embarassing that JC is posting on this thread under a pseudonym |

seems like it would be better received if he just said "hey, my name is XXX XXX and this is my experience with running, and this is my experience with coaching, if you are looking for coaching I am available, these are my rates, etc that's what I would do anyway... |

he'd be better received if he threw a bone every once in a while and didn't use every single post as a means of promoting himself and his business. |

Joe approached nearly every master runner who competed at worlds in Sacramento and the USATF meet in Berea, OH. He handed out a business card and a promise to make us as fast as he is by helping us with our speed endurance. One of the runners he approached was Scott Weeks, who ran 1:55/4:17 (mile) inddors this year. He's clearly doing pretty well without Joe's guidance. There is some good information on the web about speed endurance and 800/1500m training. I also think it's very difficult to build a good athlete-coach relationship with someone you have never met and with someone who is not physically present at any of your workouts to evaluate your form, energy level, etc. |

I used to run against him all the time in all comers meets at Los Gatos HS. That dude out kicked me more times than I care to remember. Of course, his PRs were monumentally faster than mine, so I'm not sure why he would sit and kick on scrubs like me. I swear to god, one time, were were running an 800 and I didn't want him sitting on me, so I went really slow through 400, some lady actually led at one lap, so I was thinking, OK, maybe Joe feels sick today or something, so I accelerated hard for the next 200. Next thing I know is, Here comes Joe, moving up on my outside shoulder, and kicks down for the win in something like 2:01. I'm not sure why he would acutally do those races. They really can't even have been that good training wise for him. He had a 1:49 to his name at the time. He sat on EVERYONE! Yes, I realize they were all comers meets and all, but everyone I knew was sick of that guy and his shennanigans. Glad to see from the video that he grew a pair and was not affraid to go out and run hard from the gun. |
